I normally get a lot of looks and comments that they can’t hit anything with a sxs. I was out on a controlled dove hunt a couple years back shooting my AYA #1 in 28 gauge. On my way out I noticed a father son sitting on one of the stations I had to walk past to get back to the truck. Once I past the two, the young boy said to his dad “did you see his gun? His father replied yea, you don’t want or need one of those pieces of crap” I guess shooting some sort of automatic 12 or 20 is the ticket by the way they limit 75 round. And shoot starts at 1200 ends at dusk I was limited out in just over an hour I still had two boxes and a couple left from the first box.

Good shooting, 28 GS. Fifteen for twenty-three is waaay above the average, even on opening day. Well done.

Shooting an AA 'Falcon' (Uggie) 26" 410.

I'm 6'3" and at the time I was 270 lbs.

I dropped 50 last year and bought a new Browning with the grocery money I saved.

I was on the Lake George pass with my Dewson 10 ga loaded with 4 1/2 dr Fg and 2 oz Lubaloy 4's. I shot once into a flock of Redheads about 35 yds high and three drakes dropped out. Some guy heard the strange FOOM and saw the big smoke column and I heard him quite loudly and with kind of a western twang say "What the hell was that!?"

It is usually explained to me that I've brought the wrong kind of gun. More than once I've beat them all with my "wrong gun".

One guy was actually hostile to our group of shooters. He asked if we rode horses to the range and illuminated our homes with candles. His o/u was chrome plated.

When they see that my gun has double triggers I get these two questions;

Do you pull both triggers at the same time?

Do you place a finger on each trigger when shooting?

That being said- I'm not the only one around here who shoots a sxs, but its a very small club!

They say, "GOOD shot, old chap!"

Funny, I have modified pumps, autos, O/U's trying to create the best bird gun possible, and I came to realize it was perfected well over 100 years ago; the SxS.

When I bring my 4 bore with 40 inch barrels it always draws a crowd. I will shoot a round of skeet with 12 gauge inserts and it sounds like a pop gun. When I get to one of the middle stations and no one is paying attention, I throw in a black powder 4 gauge shell and after the "kaboom", they tell me they almost had a heart attack! Great fun!

I've got a Zabala Bros 10 ga sxs. I use it primarily for cripples and the late morning high flyers (unless it's old smiley). I was in the blind with my buddy and a lone goose came through, way too high but worth a try. After the second shot, my buddy's phone rang. It was his brother in a blind about 400 yards away. He asked, "What the Hell was that?"

Oh, that goose is still out there or died of old age.
