She started life as one, but was reproved to 2 3/4 in the fairly recent past. Because of the light weight and her very thin wrist (a diamond at that!) I'll not use 2 3/4 unless I have no other options. I did get to use her on wild Bobwhite near Campo, Colorado this Fall and she did her part. Was hoping for some Blues as well but we're in a serious drought here. I have high hopes for next year.
