Two years ago at the Northeast Shoot, I had not fixed the broken extractor on my PHE trap gun's 30" barrels that I would normally use for sporting clays. I snapped on the open choked 26" barrels which I had only used for skeet in the past. It was an unusual sight picture for sure. I missed what I thought were a bunch of birds on the first part of the course. They were absolute gimmes. I was really disappointed. The score card showed a 45 with a very long run at the back end which put me in second place behind my hero, J.D. Shank, who broke a 46. It was one of my proudest days in sporting clays competition. By the way, Larry, I broke every one of the many long birds that they throw over the pond. Don't worry too much about your 26" barrels.
