Mike, without going into the whole story, a few years back, I went into a financial tailspin. Sold off half of my gun collection, etc. Cancelled subscriptions, memberships, etc. Basically, beans and rice.
It's tough to make a comeback, at 64, but I'm working on it. I go way back with the PGCA, and feel a strong connection to the organization. I promise I will get back on board, when the time is right.
Thanks all, for putting up with me.

Things are looking up. I have been self employed most of my adult life. Got caught in the great recession in Las Vegas, while being in all the wrong places. Construction, real estate, etc.
The good news, (knowing that I have to work for other people now) is that I am 3 months into a new job, and it looks very promising.
21 years ago, I sold a very successful collision repair business. I am now working for one of the top collision repair shops in the country as a writer.
Now back to the 10 ga thread.

Nothing in the world will throw a better ounce and a quarter pattern than a short ten!

Todd you got that right. I believe WW Greener in his famous book on shotguns made a similar claim. If he didn’t someone please let me know. Also, glad to hear you’re making a comeback. Sounds like you’re a fighter and survivor. Reading about Parker’s and the give and take on here can help get you through some rough spots.
