I've got the shotgun and dog part figured out, but how do they get that fan to stay spread? Thanks, Mark "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."

Eventually it will take a temporary set.....Rest it on something to help with the hold.... Or get creative.... Last edited by battue; 10/21/19. laissez les bons temps rouler

I just thought someone was using a twig or a shot shell in a trick and fancy way. As it turns out I just have to be more patient and keep spreading the fan out and set it up right.

I Love this photo! I had a cast off, found dodging cars on the highway little female dog who was no doubt 1/2 Schnauzer-1/2 Poodle we named Sophie. Sophie was the smartest dog I've ever owned. She was an adult dog and went from gun-terrified to terror on crippled quail. All dogs contain Hunt. It's there to some measure. This photo made me feel close to Sophie again, even though she's long departed. I sure thank you for posting it.
