COB.. Willie and Tara hit the couch like they have been chasing roosters all day in a cold rain... you gotta love them Shorthairs

The only thing either of them ever chased was a food dish. Willie did get out for some Pheasant his first year but when his knee let go he was done. Those two were bosom buddies and inseperatable. They rest side by side in the back yard now.

Testing new computer system, hope this works.

The picture works

Not so sure about his shooting form :rotf:

The child holding the gun appears to be cross dominate, right handed but left eyed, and should learn to shoot left handed--now it may be that he is just to young and really doesn't know how to shoot properly, or a posed picture. I commonly check for eye dominance as part of a routine eye exam and it is fairly common

My grandson got a nasty bruise and nosebleed when he shot my VHE 28 ga. with the stock under his armpit like that.

The child didn't have vision problems, just a little small for the gun (VHE 28 ga.) which was not loaded just a training session. The child is now 36, the gun went to tuition, the dog is now pointing celestial Bobwhites.

James, after i posted late last night, I thought I should go back and edit that--wasn't trying to be critical, just a job related (optometrist) observation. It is a great picture and beautiful dog. I bet that VHE 28 would bring a good bit more today, but then college tuition has probably more than doubled. Fortunately, i have never been bitten by the 28 ga bug. I have a nice Uggartechea 28, but rarely use it.

It is a great picture James. Mine can't hold a gun even that well yet. A shooting instructor friend of ours says you have to be 100 pounds in order to properly handle a shotgun. Based on that yardstick, we have about 40 pounds to go.

great picture....did the young man go on and become a hunter after he growed up. hope so..... charlie
