Yes, Dave, lots of stuff and you should hear the gun room chatter. English, French, Dutch, Norwegian, Japanese, Russian, Italian, Spanish, German etc, etc

Hey all, kind of a crappy day on Saturday, it started off with rain and ended up with wind! Managed to get out for a hour or so, saw birds, but spooky in this wind (20mph). Did manage one however, so not all was lost.
I used my 12b H&H Royal today.

It's just a little "no name" Belgium gun I picked up off the Simpson site. Just under 6 lbs with 31 inch barrels. Not your typical woodcock gun but she works for me. |
