ATLANTA (PRN)
Anticipation is hanging heavy
in the air over Georgia
sportsmen. It’s been a long, hot
summer, and now dove season
is upon us . . . the first hunting
of the new season!
It wouldn’t surprise me if
most hunters decide, at the
opening of dove season, that
this year they’re going to make
more of their shots count. They
make sort of a new year’s
resolution that there’ll be no
more skybusting from their
blinds, that they’ll watch their
leads carefully, and get a better
return from all the lead they
put up into the clouds.
From what I’ve seen of dove
hunts, the best way in which to
increase the number of birds
per box of shells would be
simply to wait for a good, close
shot. Many a dove hunter fires
away at birds he couldn't hit if
he were shooting a 10 gauge
magnum ... at least he
couldn't hit with any regularity
at such distances.
Sure, everyone hits a long
hard shot occasionally. A single
stray pellet that hits in exactly
the right spot can do in a dove.
But the odds are against it.
What range is best? Well, few
people can really calculate feet
and yards well enough in a
short span of time that a dove is
approaching and passing. What
confounds such computing is
that the bird in the air has no
relative position on the ground
by which to judge.
If he’s over a bush that’s 20
yards away, and is 50 feet high,
how far away is he? Frankly, 1
don’t know, but he’s close to
30 yards for shooting purposes,
and that’s a long enough shot
for most people. Yet I’ve seen
many a gunner blast away at
birds at twice that
range ... and wonder why
they don’t hit more.
The biggest reason for such
long shots undoubtedly is a
touch of greed along with

anxiety. They want to get a
crack at that bird before
someone else does. Little do
they stop to think that too
many shots or shots from too
far out, may prevent that dove
or others from coming in close
enough for a better shot.
Perhaps the best method of
deciding when to shoot is to
carefully watch which
direction the bird is flying, and
wait until he gets to the point
where he’s as close to you as
he’s going to get. Os course,
there’s always a chance he’ll
veer off, or just won’t come in
as close as you’d like. In this
case, it’s a matter of sheer
guesswork as to whether he’s
close enough. And only
experience can tell you.
Remember though, that the
farther away the bird is, the
more your pattern spreads and
the thinner the shot is spread,
thus the less chance you have of
a kill.
What choke’? If I had my
druthers, and had to pick only
one choke. I’d take modified. I
don’t feel much is gained by a
full choke, especially since
most folks aren’t good enough
shots at full choke ranges.
Personally, I prefer my little 20
gauge with a variable choke, so
that if the birds are closer or
farther than modified range, I
can adjust.
Now how about leading the
bird ... what distance’? This is
harder, to me, than figuring
how far away the bird is. I can’t
honestly tell you how far I lead,
but the farther away, the
greater the lead. And a
broadside shot requires more
lead than an angle, as does a
bird coming toward you,
compared to one going away.
The best advice I can give
you is to swing past the bird
and, using a little Kentucky
windage, pull the trigger when
there’s a little air between the
front sight and the bird, gun

The big scrimmage ended two

As the team heads into its fin

Dowis rates the defense ahead
of the offense.
“Our timing was poor in the
Saturday night scrimmage We
expected that. The boys had

Seay is running offense and de

Ricky Clark, senior fullback,

He was referring to Billy Til

O’Dell and Bryan are tackles.

Davis Hits Safety
---At Wrong Time
By VITO STELLINO
UPI Sports Writer
Willie Davis’ sense of timing
was all wrong Tuesday night.
Davis got the hit he needed
but it came at the wrong time
and the result was that the Los
Angeles Dodgers suffered a 5-4
loss to the New York Mets.
Davis doubled in the sixth
inning off Gary Gentry to run
his hitting streak to 30
consecutive games. It’s the
longest hitting streak in the
majors since Stan Musial hit
safely in 30 straight in 1950 and
also set a club record.
But In the ninth inning when
Davis came up, with runners on
first and third, manager Gil
Hodges decided to bring in Tug
McGraw who struck Davis out
to end the game.
In the other National League
games, Chicago edged Clncinna-
SPORTS
ti, 5-4, in the completion of a
suspended game and then beat
the Reds again, 8-2, in the
regularly scheduled game,
Houston edged St. Louis, 7-6, in
11 innings and Philadelphia
blanked San Diego, 2-0.
In the American League,
Washington swept a double
header from California, 2-0 and
3-2, with the second game
curtailed by rain ” after 514
innings, Chicago drubbed Balti
more, 10-3, Kansas City nipped
Detroit, 6-2, Minnesota topped
Cleveland, 5-2, and New York
nipped Seattle, 5-4, in 15
innings, and the Oakland-Boston
game was rained out.
Don Clendenon hit two
homers for the Mets and Ron
Swoboda doubled in two runs as
the Mets pinned the loss on Don
Sutton, 15-13.
The Cubs stretched their lead
to five games over the Mets
with the two victories over
Cincinnati. In the first game,
the Cubs started with a 5-4 lead
in a game suspended by curfew
on June 15th. Ken Johnson
blanked the Reds for two
hitless innings to preserve the
Cubs’ victory.
Glenn Beckert and Oscar
Gamble drove in three runs
each and Don Kessinger socked
his fourth homer of the year as
the Cubs easily won the second
game. Ferguson Jenkins re
corded his 19th victory.
Jesus Alou’s infield single in
the 11th inning gave nouston
the victory over St Louis that
dropped the Cards 11% games
back. Alou’s single off Jim
Grant’s glove scored John
Edwards, who reached base on
Julian Javier’s error and went
to third on Joe Morgan’s single.
