I nominate Gil S. for Best Post of the Week!
If any space I occupied looked that neat and orderly my wife would get suspicious.

I agree with SkeetTX on the many facets of waterfowling. My gun choice is dependent on multiple factors.

1. Field hunt for mallards and geese with the wife and kids usually relegates to using an o ...

Thanks Wheat.

Back in the day all members of the Trap & Skeet club were given keys and you shot on an honor system.

Before moving to Marquette a few years ago, the shooters' club I belonged ...

In 1977, I learned to shoot a rifle with my grandpa in an Indiana garbage dump using a Browning .22 caliber semi-auto. The targets were rats and I was an ecstatic nine year old. When I was 10, he taug ...

The White Lightning has a oil finish too.

I would describe as more of a matte finish. Not an actual oil finish. At least not on mine.

Hey Peaches2,

My first bird is emblazoned in my memory. I was 12 and I was invited to hunt with my grandfather and some friends on a relative's farm in central Illinois. I managed to bring down the first hen pheasa ...

16gg,

The Pacific 366 (20ga) and 350 (12ga) are the only loaders I have ever used since they were passed on to me by my grandfather. My initial thought was to keep things simple through consistency ...

Does anybody use a Hornaday (Pacific) 366 for reloading 16 gauges shells? I have one in 20 gauge and have the opportunity to pick one up in 12 gauge. I was wondering about converting one them over to ...

Do you have cynergys in the original field configuration (i.e. the funky looking recoil pad)?

shot a bird in the fracas? If so, was it difficult to remove the lead?

No, but I once shot someone the "bird" and it lead to a fracas.

I love my Haydel's MP-90. Most versatile call I own. We mainly shoot greenwings up here on Lake Superior. They are not at all bashful about decoying either. I've had them decoy to puddler spreads, div ...

Was this a face to face transaction or internet? If the gun was shipped, I hope you did not accept delivery through your FFL. If you did accept delivery and you paid for grade II/III and received a g ...

I have a Cynergy in 12 gauge and a Citori in 16 gauge. You may discover, like I did, that the Cynergy (with goofy looking recoil pad) has less felt recoil than the Citori. The only time I really perce ...
