I’m gonna have to stick to something on the cheaper side!

I hunt Grouse and Woodcock. For the last 25 or so years it has been sxs mostly in 20 ga. This year as I was looking for a new gun I handled an O/U for the first time in years, after looking at it a few times over a month or so. It came home with me. It has been the only gun I have carried this year.

I use them all. O/U, SxS, pumps and even a couple of auto's but they need to be "cute". I like unusual chamberings such as 16, 28 and 410. My old 11-48 Remington 28 gauge is my turkey gun and is choked TIGHT. My old 870 16 with a modified choke fits like a glove and works well for many things.

I have nothing clever to put here.

I shoot all types of shotguns. Prefer semis and pumps for waterfowl and home defense, o/u when shooting competition clays and skeet, and sxs in the small gages for upland birds.

A Deeley release on the left and Anson release on the right. Prince of Wales and a straight English grip. I don't care if I hit a bird or not, I just enjoy a day afield carrying a gun.
