Default It still shoots great!!

I took my new Sbt 20 ga. out this weekend and it still breaks targets. I shot a 23 and a 23 in 15 to 20 mph wind. You do have to shoot fast it that kind of wind. A few got away but I did not care. The gun fits me like a glove and shoots just the way I like it. A little high and no recoil with 7/8 oz. 20 ga. It made my weekend. So far, I know it was made in 1917 for the US District Attorney in Portland, Or. whose name was W.C. Bristol and I have a list from Griffin and Howe of past owners but it is a small list. I will take some pics of the gun this weekend and put them on here. Thanks, Frank

Thanks for the post, Frank. What are the A&F names? Maybe I can help you. I have not forgotten the other information on the gun that I promised you. Remember, if you get tired of it, I was second place bidder. If you ever get up this way, we can put three of those 20 gauge singles together for pictures. You'll love mine.

Frank, since you shoot that 20ga SBT so well, you don't need your release trigger gun. I'm available for purchase

We do need to have a shoot somewhere in the Midwest for SBTs and have it open for ever brand of gun. I think it would be fun and be nice to see all the different SBT out there. I would be up for starting this if there is enough interest. Thanks, Frank

I would love to have it some where in the Midwest. I do travel a lot but if I am going to pack up a bunch of SBTs, I would like to have it within a couple 100 miles. In Wi., Il., Mi. I just think it would be great to get this beautiful guns out in the daylight and have some fun with them. Let me know if people are interested and I will start to set it up. What would be the best time of the year for this??? Frank
