My arms ache just reading this.:rotf::eek::eek:

Only 8 I have has a 2 in front of it!

Those make nice cleaning rods fora real 8.

May I suggest a match pitting the big 8's against the puny 28's?:whistle:

When and where buddy:corn:

I guess we'll have to wait until Mike's next year and shoot the eight gauge
course with the 28's. Just for bragging rights.
