Backyard Proof House

[Rod N. Gunn]

Good points all, thanks. I guess I agree that overloading it may just cause damage and prove nothing... as would sending it out to Destry's still hideout for proofing. Just because it comes back with a 94 stamped on it really means nothing. My goal is to be comfortable with it just in case I get the odd chance at a Tom. I have enough trouble holding still and getting my gun steady without worrying about blowing my fingers off.

Dave, buy some RST's, strap your 3 frame to a tire and have at it. Bet when you see it still in one piece the confidence will be there to hunt with it next season. I grew up in the same house you did when it comes to damascus guns. Now I have two 10 and three 12 Ga damascus Parkers and don't worry a bit about my fingers. Good luck, George
