That was a hell of a shot he made! Too bad the recorder muffled the boom of the old girl.

I'd sure like to know what those canons on the wall are when he is cleaning the Reilly

It may be they still have a punt gunner

Like the 8 bores, still legal in the UK

Great video thanks Rick. I wish we could use the 8 bores in the US. I guess we have to be satisfied with our big 10's, which are big fun to drag into the marsh. Craig

Really enjoyable. Thanks Rick. A nice video for presenting the gunning and collecting ethos to audiences on any continent.

Father and son sure have the spirit for shooting the E. M. Reilly 8 bore. Allan sums up the use of the gun as "tradition". William cites "prestige" and "nostalgia", and says, "It's never going to leave me", which must be Scottish for, "from my cold dead hands".

That was a good long shot. I've been lucky and killed a few big high ones with the large bore stuff over there myself.
