Snobbery! How an a guy who shoots Nitro Specials and other blue collar guns be a snob? I said that as I grow older and am often unable to walk, I choose my shots carefully. Nine out of ten guys can't handle an ounce of shot well enough inside 40 yards. I like the small gauge guns because I can still carry them. For years (when I was a pretty good shot) I shot a Flues 12 ga. with 7/8 loads and had no trouble within the 40 yards. Please, I have never said that I thought small bores were better than the larger ones. If you get to be 75, you'll know what I meant. I will not shoot a bird unless I am pretty sure to bag it. Chops
