Never shot a turtle, rabbit, or squirrel. Pretty sure I didn't even shoot a gopher last year. Just kinda out grew shooting varmints I guess.



I did put about 30-40 rounds through your 16 gauge the other day though Charlie. Killed the hell outta some clay pigeons!

Yea,,, probably shouldn't kill chit ya don't eat or at least harvest the fur but I'm weak when it comes to ground dwelling varmints.
Probably go to hell for it but if it isn't for that I'm sure it'll be for something else.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying the shotgun.

BTW,,,, I saw a gal pulling calves at a dairy on TV today that called herself a mid wife.
What does that make you?

I guess you could call me a puzzy because I ordered a shoulder pad for the shotgun!




Had a nice bruise the next day. Gonna have an uber one on my calf(no pun intended) tomorrow.


Roped a big-ass son of a bitch this morning and it was all I could do to get the rope back off the fuucker. He got in one direct hit, ripped my pants, made me take a time out....grin

Dam,,,, you shoot that thing pretty good Sam.

I didn't like it for shooting clay's either but that's not what it was made for. You'll never notice the recoil when your hunting but you will notice that you don't mind carrying it all day.

FWIW,,, I shot trap for years and the only time in my life I ever ran 100 straight was with that gun.
And YES I felt it the next day.

Charlie, exactly. It didn't bother me until about +20 rounds, which would be a week or two worth of bird hunting.



100 rounds in a day?!

You're tougher than me!

I was shooting light target loads.

I doubt I'd make it to 50 shooting those #6 PMC's I sent you.

Glad to you shooting the old girl though.

You've shot it more since you've had it than I did the last ten years.

Darn. Would have been nice getting a closeup of thst gun, Sam. Hate to hear you had to break a second box to get 4 in a row though. wink

Charlie, I was shooting target loads that day as well. Ordered a flat from Cabelas. Might have to order another!




Eye, there may have been more than one 'take' required.......

Holy heck! That is a gorgeous shotgun.

My favorite was shooting bullfrogs in the 60's with the 22 rifle then feasting on their fat little legs


A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
