My first day out this season, early geese in Ontario. Missed my first bird with both barrels, had the band fever and it wasn't even banded. Never missed another shot all morning though, actually ended up with five. When handled properly The Preacher does not fail. A double banded Jack Miner bird made the day special.

Please remind us about "The Preacher".

The Preacher is my big factory 3 1/2 inch magnum 10 gauge. I bought it from ol' Cobb ages ago and it has been a fast friend ever since.

I'm still shooting through my horde of 3 1/2 inchFederal Tungsten Polymer 1 3/4 ounce of #4.

I love the history of our guns and our personal connection to 1 or 2 of these guns. I believe all hunters and shooters have multiple guns but 1 or 2 are special.
