Or in a pit next to guy with ported barrels.:banghead: Nice gun Pete and a dandy honker.

Thirtyfive to forty years ago every 12 gauge skeet or trap gun I had was ported or had a Kolar Kob (essentially the same thing as a Cutts) . I never took it to the extent some of them did of porting the insert tubes in 20 and or 28 . To be honest after awhile for me atleast the need for the 12 gauge at skeet was no more I shot regular old 20 gauge loads in the 12 , 20 and doubles at all stations event . The under barrel ported on the trap gun though I found slightly helpful for trap doubles . I suspect the first barrel ported for Colombaire or boxbirds might be slightly helpful but since I pretty much only shoot SxS’s in the ring I’m not putting holes in a SxS barrel/s !

That goose is a beauty. And they are so tasty- a good one for Christmas! Nice job!

For the sake of the shooter as well as that of the gun.

Yet somehow many of us thought nothing of and survived shooting 1 5/8 and 1 7/8 ounce three inch twelve gauge shells out of 7 1/2 pound 870 12 gauge magnums when lead was legal for waterfowl.

Some of the commercial 3" 12 ga turkey loads were not fun to shoot at a pattern board. You didn't quite notice it as much when shooting at an actual turkey...until the next day...
