You can see how the desire for ejectors and spring openers arose.
Nice video, thanks. Jonny really advancing as a host and representative.
Double gunning is a really sublime activity.
Out there doing it best I can.

How do you wear a Gannochy? I must have missed that part where it is explained. Of course, I haven't understood one word they said. "The USA and the UK, two friendly countries separated by a common language."

I'd like to get Jonny on a "hot", late season dove shoot and see his facial expression at the difficulty level of the gunning. They were expressing delight at the high, fast clays they were shooting, but the leads I saw on the video are not even approaching what some high, fast doves require.
The audio was hard for me to understand at times too, Bill.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

In street Sicilian parlance, a Goniff is a pickpocket, and a Cannoochy is a Gypsy-- FYI-- RWTF

Stan, late season doves will teach you how to read a flight line, then teach you how to stretch a lead out. First time I killed a dove flying with a tail wind with a lead over ten feet I felt accomplished. Now ten feet is an easy one.

I have a pair of Gannoches or whatever they are called. They are all green painted metal with leather straps, one of twelve gauge and one for twenty gauge. I bought them out of curiousity, not knowing that they were anything but shell storage. They came from the Lester Ruwe estate, Lester being a mega rich Detroit area oil guy. Lester and his wife enjoyed as much hunting as any couple alive. The shell carriers appear to be Spanish. I have a few guns from the Ruwes and some other hunting paraphernalia. The Ruwes lived in the Harley Earl mansion in Grosse Point Farms outside Detroit. Son, Nick Ruwe and wife Nancy lived in DC when Nancy was Mrs. Gerald Ford's personal secretary. The guns and accessories were from Nancy Ruwe's estate. The Ruwes had a thousands of acres hunting estate in Ontario with a home filled with millions of dollars worth of decorative antiques and important furniture.
