Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns 20 gauge O/U sporting clays

In his earlier year's George Digweed used a pair of 682's, a flat shooting sporter and a high shooting trap gun,neither was "fit".In fact the trap gun was left in the rain one night and then it was said to have had an unusual cast to it.

Digweed never buys a custom stock, always buys “off the rack”, picking a gun that feels good, then learning it. Seems to work out…

George would post a 98/100 with a NEF

An 11 YO just became the youngest to make Master class....And he did it on some of the better tournaments. Has had lessons from Cherry and Radulovich. Both say he has uncanny natural ability.

Meant to add...How do you fit an 11 YO who is growing essentially by the day.

Brandon Powell literally spent part of his growing up years under the direction of Digweed. Fit is important, however fundamentals trump it every time. Years ago I watched Phillips consistently break 30 yard crossers with his gun held upside down.

My friend's own Mid-Hudson Sporting Clay's in N.Y. Spoke with Gary Phillip's at one of the tournaments.Picked up some useful tip's for free.Shot with Andy Duffy a lot also here in N.Y.

Gary used to clean up over here when SC first arrived.

Have known Andy when he first started out. He sacrificed much to arrive were he is now. Loves his Bird Dogs and hunting.

Shot with Andy,Neil Chadwick and Charley Schneible starting around 1990.Bought my 325 Euro 32" from Charley and Victory shell's from Neil 20 box case's $80.The good old day's long gone.

Chadwick is still setting targets at the big events….and I hear the Schneible’s have a nice gun shop.

Havn't been there in year's but the shop was actually in his house in Millbrook.
