Re: Rough shooting and field trial
Never trialed but shot in many and my opinion,for what it's worth, is just refinement. There is not a great deal of difference in rough shooting and field trialing spaniels but the trialing dogs have more control and that extra element of refinement

Re: new game gun
A friend loads for a local Lord who is always included in the countries top shots He shoots Eley VIP 28 gram 6 through open chokes and is a pleasure to watch.
