First ducks down with the new Stoeger 3500!

Mixed bag: Green winged Teal hen, two mallard hens, widgeon drake. Missed a ton more unfortunately! new gun, super windy (a great thing!) which kept the ducks low and even some light rain. Having a sem-auto, so far, has been great but I certainly went through more shells! I have to use restraint apparently and I am looking forward to becoming more dialed in... have not shot my shotgun since last january so I cannot expect to be shooting well.

Thanks all once again for the help.

 :tup: Nice work! Thanks for sharing. But be honest....did you try to pump the next shell in after the first shot?  :chuckle:

You're damned skippy I did! Hard habit to break!
