The flight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dove shooting in Argentina<\/a> is a very sporty and difficult kind of blast and yet a great fun due to the amount of cartridges that hunters shoot daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little effectiveness that the hunter can have on windy days makes it very challenging as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air pressure during a sunny or a stormy day may also change the flightway height.
Doves fly at a speed of between 60 and 80 km\/h depending on the weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their plumage is lighter than that of the duck, more similar to the partridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doves’ flight is deceptive, because it seems slower than it really is, for this reason the biggest mistake of the shooters is to stay behind the bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dove<\/a> itself is not really strong so to use a big gauge is not particularly necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dove shooting technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The correct technique is to quickly measure the distance and pass the target (lead) to achieve a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering that it flies at a height of 20 or 30 m, it is essential to calculate as accurately as possible the speed and distance at which each specimen has to be shot in order to hit each shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aiming too close to the bird is a common mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We mostly shoot passing doves in the fields where they go down to eat or water holes where they drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another excellent flightway is the one where doves come and go from the roosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This last one is the least advisable place to shoot because it may ruin the population of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also advisable to camouflage yourself within the crops where you are hunting, or under the trees near the pass or even with portable posts that hide the presence of shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This avoids the famous breaks that the birds do when they see the hunters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When hunters catch the trick to lead the aim at the right distance this kind of shooting becomes a big fun.

Dove shooting in Argentina<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Argentinian people call doves as “the rat of the air”, due to how prolific they are and because the diseases they can transmit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This species has been declared a pest so its hunt is open all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we stick to strictly sports, dove shooting is not easy at all.
On an average hunting day a shooter can consume 1,000+ rounds or even more and the average of hits is around 40% accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had hunters shooting consistently over 5000 rounds per hunter\/day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring your shoulder pad in your next trip to Argentina. We highly recommend it for such a high volume of shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under normal circumstances Argentina Big Hunting<\/a> is capable of delivering any kind of shooting since we manage different flightways. Hunters can decide to go to hunting fields where dove fly high or low, as they prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting on rainy days is not a problem. Except for stormy days doves will fly out and back to the roost anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During those difficult days we also have a window of opportunity to shoot birds for at least a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the warm months of the year (September to April) doves fly all day long. In winter time they usually take a break at noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shotguns and shells<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hunters have different preferences: Americans like semi-auto shotguns, Europeans like over and under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can actually shoot very well with either ones or the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It depends on how comfortable you feel with your gun and how much you are used to shooting with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding which caliber would be the ideal one, the first answer would be that all are good: 28, 20, 16 and 12\/70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to our knowledge and experience the best shotguns are semi-auto 20 gauge (26 or 28 g cartridges) or 12 gauge (28 or 32 g) with 7 or 8 shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We preferred dependable brands as Beretta or Benelli because we shoot very heavily. However, we know that ,any other first class guns do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winchesters, Remingtons, Brownings are just some of very good semi auto American shotguns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blaser shotguns<\/a> are excellent in the niche of over and unders because their high quality and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
