Big Friend Ten and Mallards

Big Friend Ten (BFT) · 10-10-2010, 10:13 PM

I was expecting Canada Geese but a pair of Mallards dropped in to visit my trusty Chesador "Radar", me, and my Big Friend Ten. It's a DH made in 1891 and still doing it's job at 50 yards thanks to #4 Nice Shot. I can now apply for the Parker Doubles pin...

The dog looks like it does not like having the gun pointed at him or is warning the ducks to lie quietly!

Hi Tom,

My BFT is a size 3 frame. It broke a lot of clay targets during the summer.

50 yards?

Jay,

My laser range find listed 55 yards to a decoy near where I shot the ducks.

I dropped 5 geese in early season at or near the very same spot my spread. Oh, and for those geese I used an LC Smith 12 gauge with 1 & 1/8oz #2 Nice Shot. I shot the ducks with 1 & 3/8oz Nice Shot #4 with my 10 ga. In hindsight I should have used #2's.

I like Nice Shot and love my Big Friend Ten (or BFT for short).

PS: Please don't hate me but I have a decoy spread in my pond which is 20 yards from my front porch.

Mark handles the big 10 ga. guns quite nimbly. I shot with him at Hausman's when he shot "low gun" on Ernie's "hunter's clays" course which simulates ruffed grouse targets - in fact, the flushes and flight paths of the clays were more like those of ruffed grouse than anything else I have experienced. Hausman's is my very favorite course. Mark scored very well on that course with that gun.
