Hey all, went out today with my son Jim and daughter Teresa. Boy, it sure was hen day! About all we flushed were hens (that's a good thing!), but did manage to get up some boy birds. I should have limited, but blew the shot. Did get 2 however. Teresa and Jim, had a couple shots, but missed. One the birds, fell smack dab in the creek, but Raina, did a nice water retrieve on him. We'll what tomorrow brings. Teresa and Jim  I used my Arrieta 16ga 871 today  Best, Greg

Nice pic Gil. You should be in fine form for the approaching woodcock.

Hi GLS,
I too shoot a C.G. Bonehill, albeit a SLE. How do you like the single shot? How is the balance and handling qualities?

This was the first time I shot the gun. Despite weighing 5 lbs, 6 oz., it handled well with its 30" barrel. After a couple of birds down with the single shot, I went to the double as most of the shots needed the C choke of the double's right barrel. The single-shot was a little too tight for most of the shots I took. Gil

Love those British singleshots. And yours is hammerless! Very cool.
Thanks Gil.
I am glad to be here.

See my thread- "Help" just above this one, as I had my friend Raimey Ellenburg post a foto from Nov 5th- 2016 bird hunt with pal Brad Bachelder- Don't know how to move it to this site, so we'll go with it as is- good foto of Brad and his two fine older Labs- and I am holding my Grade 2 12 gauge NID, not a Model 12--
