Old standbys or new advenure?
 
I bit the bullet and picked up a box of 20ga bismuth loads using a Cabela's gift card I've been carrying around for almost two years. We hunt a few places in South Dakota where non-tox is required but not many; still have most of the 16ga non-tox I bought several years ago. Now deciding what to take: Fox A Grade and Sterlingworth 16's (the old standbys), or Fox A Grade and Sterlingworth 20's (the new adventure).

Without a doubt the "new adventure".:) On second thought, take one 20 and one 16.

Phil Yearout 10-31-2024 03:45 PM

Yeah; just not crazy about messing with two different sets of shells etc.

Bring them all. And have one vest set up for 16 and the other for 20. Some days feel like 16 and some days feel like 20 when in SD...

Like Chris says. Last week in SD I shot a 20, a 16 and a 28. I feel bad leaving one of the girls behind.

You guys are no help :cuss:

Take the sterly 16 and 20

What Cris said! I have several vests and on trips dedicate each to a gun.

Just make sure the vests will hold all those big Kansas roosters you're going to have to tote out.

Whatever you decide, the anticipation is to be enjoyed. Post photos for those of us who must live as does the vicar.:)

I love the multiple vests concept. I’ve been using separate pockets/separate shell loops to keep 20 and 28 GA (current and RST) shells separated in the grouse woods. Heaven knows that most of us have multiple vests…….

:rotf:

Nope; only got one vest. I think back about my dad, and me in simpler times. Only owned one gun between us (it was his); hunting was just grab the gun and a pocket full of shells. Wonder what dad would even think about me having the opportunity to ask this question. I have an idea but…anyway the 20’s don’t get out much so maybe it’s their turn.
