My dad had me start hunting with just walking with him. Then he bought me a single shot 410 hammer gun at 12 yrs old. I hunted grouse, pheasant and woodcock with that till 16 when he was satisfied that i was hunting properly and i then graduated to a Parker 16 ga VH. Parkers ever since with an occasional Belgian Browning in the mix. Dad would always tell me that if you can't hit the bird in 2 shots, the bird deserves to fly away. God love him.
