That means I can no longer shoot right handed as I have done for 65 years. Left handed is awkward with safety on the wrong side, sighting, trigger pull, working the pump etc. Anyway, I got it done this morning. Luckily no follow up shot required.

Given the circumstances I wanted to avoid multiple shots so I broke down and bought some TSS shells. I’ve never had a big bird drop without a twitch like this one did.

Never under stood lugging a heavy old pump around over the hills. Not many 2nd shots on turkeys. Not saying it don't happen so B&B don't smart off....

I agree about the weight, that’s why I tote around a youth model 20ga.
