I appreciate the kind responses. My friendship with Mark's family goes back generations. Mark is also the best Piper Cub pilot I know. I enjoyed flying with him in his Cub. If you can fly a cub, you can fly almost anything.
The DHE trap gun fits Mark perfectly. We shot this weekend and he had his highest score with the new gun. We set up a trap range on the property, but we also shoot the local clubs. It gave me great pleasure to see him shoot the gun so well. I taught him to hunt when he was a kid and was with him when he killed his first deer. He'll be hunting ducks and birds with me this fall. I am generally a lone hunter, but I consider Mark another son and will take him everywhere with me in the fall. I took him into the Great Swamp with me recently and we saw well over 200 ducks, most of them woodies which have returned in great numbers.
