Long Hammer Playing Skeet
https://i.imgur.com/Wrt5hKe.jpg
Decided to see if a very long hammer could keep up with the boys at Skeet. The picture shows the perspective of the long barrels (36"). Alas, not HOA, but was a lot of fun. |
Careful!! You may start a stampede of skeet shooters dumping their 32-inch guns for longer, just like they did the 26- and 28-inch guns of my day.

I've shot my 36" hammer 8 gauge at skeet . For a regular round it didn't work so great but backwards doubles at all stations it kinda excelled . To me with the gun the length of barrels wasn't the issue . The issue was stopping that heavy SOB and changing direction for doubles :rotf:
On the other hand I shot regular skeet with my hammerless 8 gauge with 34" and it was a bit lighter but the bigger contributing factor was slightly more open chokes and with that one I broke a couple 23 rounds . But it's like any gun if you shoot it long enough and get used to it eventually your scores "should" increase . |
those eights are awesome...charlie

My barely ten pound 30" DH eight is what skeet is all about. Maybe you guys should think about cutting yours back. Don't look for an original. Mine is the only 30" hammerless eight out there, or in the serialization book. I'm sure there are cut off hammer guns out there, though.

Dean, that is a really nice looking skeet house. Is it a prefab or kit building?
