Hope y'all realize I'm just havin' some fun. At one point in my shooting career, my trap gun was a BT-99, my sporting gun was a converted Superposed trap gun, my skeet gun was a .410 Ultra XS (wonderful gun), and my bird guns were a 12g. Upland Special, a BPS Upland Special, and a 20g. Superlight. Great guns all.
BUT the Sterlingworth Society would STILL like to show you fellas how to harvest some pheasants! |

Being an owner of both Browning and Fox Sterlingworth shotguns, I can appreciate some good natured ribbing from either side; it was witty and I was smiling . . . until that last one, that was just plain mean. |

Well it's the day after the Lord's day but I'll confess anyway-for several years my go to bird gun was a (gasp ) 12g. 21" brl Benelli M1 Super-for some reason I shot it as well as any gun I've had and it was sweet to carry chasing my brain-damaged dogs. Ended up selling it (no 1/2 gave it) to a med student when my flinch got so bad I couldn't use it for low gun skeet and the BOOM of that short brl was really hard on my tinnitus. We always bring a spare SBE to S. Dakota in case somebody's gun breaks and interestingly several of my buddies with high dollar O/Us keep going back to their SBEs for Sporting Clays because they just shoot them better.
Interesting how many guys (rpm, TJC, who else?) have BOTH Sterlys and Citoris-obviously gentlemen of good taste
OK-one more. Bad On Birds? |

Lest anyone think this is not all in good fun, let me assure you that 16gg and I send MUCH more abusive PMs back and forth
(Then again the Congregationalists DID horse whip Roger Williams for preaching in Mass.) |

Incidently, I just heard a rumor that the Mass legislature passed a bill to annex "Little Rhody" back so Teddy K can have more room to pahk his yachts. |

Naw--I'll use the whirlingstirth barrel. Why mess up a perfectly good Browning with blood, hair, and brains. you wouldn't notice the difference on the Fox. Might even improve things a might.
Now Rem16, you should know me better by now. |

revdocdrew,
how about a shoot off?
500 rounds on the skeet range, top gun has bragging rights.
can your shoulder and delicate little gun take the heat?

Sorry-my wussy flinch would kick in about target 67. My problem and not the gun's. Price you pay for too many clay targets (the .44 Mag didn't help either) and being an old pencil neck geek. (Hey 16gg-is a geek better than a gnome? ) How about 10 50 target rounds of low gun skeet? The 16g. sissy-tori has to use the same Lt. Mod/ Imp Mod chokes as my Sterlingworth.
Or it'd be more fun to just meet up in Montezuma? |
