My first shot gun was a Winchester Model 12, 28 Ga. Skeet gun. With that gun I shot everything for about six years. Dove, Quail, Rabbits, Geese, Ducks you name it. Was it the perfect gun to start out with? Must have been because it lit the fire in me that keeps me shooting almost fifty years later. I have had a 28 of one type or another ever since. First grand child will get the gun if they want to shoot, otherwise I'll let the kids fight over it when I am gone.
