I agree with that, Jack.
While I was growing up, My Dad mostly shot grouse with a .22 and deer with a ,300 sav.
He didn't even own a shotgun until I was a teenager and the only reason he had that was because it was given as collateral on a $75 loan (that luckily for me, was never paid). It was a Rem model 58 semi-auto and with it, I could gleefully miss a rising cock pheasant not once, but three times!
