doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com What are you guys bringing into the duck blind?

I think I have the most fun with my Greener single 10. 40" barrel,3 1/2" chamber,10 lbs. Overbored by Stan Baker, may he (RIP), many years ago to 9 ga. It puts a lot of fear,and a few BB pellets, into the hearts of our local wintering snow geese. The barrel adds a lot of range (at least 12" anyway)

In the blind it is a 1910 LC Smith 00 with 30" barrels and full/fuller chokes:




In the field it will be this obscure spanish gun I picked up on a whimsy and fell in love with:



I'm tossing nice shot down the tubes in 7/8-1oz reloads.

Always non auto. Hammer or vintage shotgun. I believe in the sporting chance not the heavy bag. HomelessJoe appears to be at that stage too.

Hi, well I've got just two dedicated duck guns, both doubles, both 12ga and both are tubed for use with steel. Here they are:

Bernadelli Italia Hammergun:



And my Fabarm Beta Classis:



Great posts by everyone and some great pics.

Josh, fun post BTW!

All the best!

T you got me figured wrong...I hunt for "the heavy bag" and I'm not a believer in "stages"....I just like old guns and shooting them, I'm not dreaming of old times just trying to make the best of mine.

Ps...don't let the old looks of the W&C Scott fool you I'd almost be willing to bet she can out kill any modern gun....by more than "12 inches".

Lefever "E" 10 bore.......

As a 16 ga. user for ducks over decoys I'll be useing a Long Range Arms with 30" barrels with bismuth and Kent Matrix. That's in Wisconsin, in Louisana it will be an 870 Express 16 ga, with steel. Also might use my old Bernadelli Gamecock Deluxe 12 when hunting locally as I have a lot of 2.75" bismuth.

Garcia Bronco in .410 ... Just kidding.

AYA 10 bore 32" barrels for geese and SKB 100 12 w/choke tubes for dragging through the "crick" and jump shootin wood ducks. Oooooh I luvs them woodrow's.

Early goose starts tomorrow (I could limit out with an airgun, there must be 200 feeding in the park connected to my back yard) Nasty things crappin all over the soccer fields...

When it's ducks over decoys it's my Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge in what I like to think of as "field" condition, all finishes worn away, missing the pistol grip cap and with a butt pad so hard and cracked it reminds me of my ex. When geese are on the menu, I bring my great grandfather's Fox A grade 12 gauge F/F, bought new by him in 1911. All the other working guns in the safe get used to kill things, just not near water.

Starting to think I need to find myself a nice old 10 gauge!

Here is sampling

Super Fox 12ga HE

XE 12ga Fox
