Shooting Jeff's 8 Gauge at Lapeer SxS Shoot!

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

There are a few things that I have not done in my 50+ years but as of yesterday shooting an 8 gauge isn’t one of them! Thanks to Jeff and his 15 pounder Paul, Rich, Kurt, and me are now 8 Gauge shooters!

That looks like a hoot! Did you guys hit anthing with that wonderful hand cannon?

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

Yea we did... I broke the first two clays I shot at from the trap range's 25 yard line!

[C.O.B.]

I think everyone who shot it broke a bird with it. 38 inch barrels she's no upland gun If a gun could talk I bet there's some waterfowling history there. I think Jeff said it came from the Eastern Shore.

That looks like some fun!! That's a real nice 8 ga. Jeff - wish I could have been there.

For those who want an 8 Ga. of their own, there will be a low grade, fish-tail top lever, "project" condition 8 ga. on the Silent Auction table this year in So. Carolina

Just immagine what that thing would do to a white wing dove.

As I recall, this gun is one of a consecutively numbered pair sold by William Wagner in Washington, DC, factory 4" chambers. Most of Wagner's guns are found quite close to home. I'm sure Jeff wears sunglasses to protect his eyes from those bright Twist barrels.
