I agree what Pete, Eric, and Bill have said. The presentation of targets were quick crossing shots and most of the second clay targets for the true pairs the shooter needed to react quickly for a score or you lost the clay in the trees and brush. Not an easy feat to do hefting up a 15 lb gun and what was it....? 36" barrels? I think Mark shot the 8 gauge all weekend. Every time I saw him he was carrying the 8 gauge. He got a nice work out carrying that gun up and down those hills....

Mark let me shoot his 8 gauge I never shot before that scratched one more thing on my "bucket list". 1 3/4 oz of lead on a gun that massive had minimal recoil.

Thanks Mark!
