The birds engraved on my SC SBT appear to be "schmoes" to me. Remember schmoes? Al Cap. What do the pigeons look like?

My SBT SC ss# 177853 looks similar to the one in question. Same style engraving. My gun has very little case color though.

Barrel flats on my gun. I have no idea what any of them mean.

"later entry" No SBT has no birds engraved anywhere. I was thinking of my GH.

Yup, Steve's SC has no birds to critique. The "T" on the barrel flats indicate the the barrel is Titanic Steel. The "JG" is the barrel maker, Jim Geary. The "3 6" is the barrel weight. The "12" is the gauge. The "A" and the "S" I don't know.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to see if I can get a letter. If so, I'll frame it. I shoot my SBT often. It is my go to trap gun. It shoots high as a cat's back. I let the bird "float".

Am shooting my SC weekly now. It must have a pretty tight choke, because when I hit one solidly it just disappears. No pieces anywhere. The gun mounts perfectly into the hollow of my shoulder and not on my upper arm. I have pretty short arms and some shotguns do that. I am training myself to shoot as quickly as I can...it pays off in handicaps.

Question for you trap experts out there: How high above the "house" do you point your gun when you call for the bird? On station 5 I point my gun about a foot above the right hand corner of the house. The bird I miss most often is what should be the easiest shot. The one going straight away. Everything looks perfect, I shoot and miss! When that happens I cannot believe it! It is maddening.

The "one foot above the house" hold point causes a faster than neccesary gun movement to the target. The "high and outside" hold point at stations one and five allows you to address the target with a slower gun. If you are a two eyed shooter, hold high and see the bird coming.
