Default Brother n law's first Fox

I recently helped my brother n law acquire his first Fox, and an A grade at that. I watched this gun pass through the hands of it's last 4 owners over the past seven years. After watching him shoot it today, I think this Fox has found a permanent home. It's an early 1910, 28" barrels IM/IM. I also shot my A grade, it's a 1912, 26" barrels IC/MOD. The Foxes "Got the game today!"

Good Gawd Chris you fellows must have gazillions of doves out there. I am putting a dove shoot out there on my bucket list in the near future.. After the first couple of weeks of our season here you really have to work hard to bag a limit of 15.

A bucket list experience you won't forget Daryl! My friends / PGCA members will tell you the same. It's only going to get better as the temps cool.

Foxes and doves were made for each other. I currently have 6 Foxes that are fine dove guns. Most of our doves here in GA are mourning, not Eurasian. IMO, mourning doves fly faster than Eurasians, and I have read that whitewings are even faster than mournings. How about it Chris?

I think you're you're right about the Mourning and Eurasions Stan. I don't notice any difference with Mourning and Whitewing. I know the proper lead and follow through will vary with each bird. The Eurasions are tough ol cobs, they require a solid hit or they'll keep flying! I have maybe 6 Foxes I can shoot now. Working on a couple A grade, and very early C grade restorations. I'm a Fox guy first, then comes Parker. Don't tell anyone!!
