Thinking about it more I would bet that what caused the unusual reports that Sheldon heard that day were the weather conditions and the location, combined. I have shot doves early in the morning when there was a fog hanging over the field. The sound of those guns going off across the field, in that fog, is vivid in my memory to this day, from nearly 50 years ago. It was indeed a hollow, echoing sound.

I think the distance does have something to do with the report heard. I have hunted in the Louisiana marshes and at times the distant shotgun reports do have a 2-tone sound; like an echo.

I had a 12ga. Parker that made a ''Pinging'' sound every time I
shot it. Shooting skeet it would sound off with Ping - Ping. Do any of you guys know what would cause that sound? And Yes, it made that noise with any and all shells fired. Harry |

Harry, I think we determined that the top lever was acting as a musical instrument. I put some tape on my lever to identify the problem, but then took the tape off and enjoyed the music. Some tape under the lever seemed to quiet the sound.
