[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3926527, member: 15527"] I put out a load of bread for the crows this morning, and before I made it back to the blind, there were already 6 crows moved in and flying off with a whole piece of bread in their beak. I got set up in my blind with my shotgun on the shooting table, on a raised sand bag, and here comes a flock of 20 birds or more. I watched the crows for about a minute, then they started leaving one by one with a piece of bread in their beaks, till there were just a few birds left. I picked out a crow on the far right side of the baited area, settled the bead no less than 3 feet over it's head, squeezed the trigger, and I had a dead bird - 95 yards 2 feet from the muzzle! I have been doing a lot of testing with a new choke tube, and now have a 6" extended .675 tube specifically for my long range crow shooting. At 100 yards, this tube puts an average of 3 more pellets in my crow "target". This won't increase the kill range, but it will decrease the chance of a wounded bird. Now, overall barrel length with the new .675 choke tube is 40". Loads are the same and most likely will not change any time soon!
