Why so many??

[C.O.B.]

I'm leaving Wednesday for the Duluth Double Gun shoot. This is basically a two day affair with ALL the competition done on Saturday. There is a sporting clays course (quite a nice one actually) a pigeon ring, All bore course (a 30 target version of sporting clays) and a 5 stand. There are enough side games to keep ones interest up.

I'm going through the guns I want/need to take and why are there so many??? It's worse than a woman's shoe closet. On the list are three tight choked 12's, a DH and a BHE live bird guns and a 32 inch Fox CE for the long bird courses. I'll shoot the main event (SC course) with the 32 inch BHE 20. On the all bore course there is a hammer gun event and I've won it twice with the 20ga Boss so that's going. The pigeon ring is a glorified 5 stand and it can be shot with a skeet gun at least in the past so the 16ga Hollywood gun is going just for that as will a DHE 30 inch vent rib 20 depending on what I'm shooting better with at the time. There's another long barreled 16 I'm considering taking as well. That's 8 guns in 3 gauges for two days of shooting. I generally shoot all I take but this but this is getting ridiculous

Elmer Keith used to say 'Beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it.' Just food for thought. Mark

Go up there, and kick butt and take names! Gary

I don't think it is ridiculous. A little finesse never hurts. BTW, hands-up out there if you only have one gun. Cheers, Jack

You'd better take some one to haul them all...and I'm volunteering

sounds like you had to make some tough discions....charlie

Why so many? Because you've got so many!

Personally, I'm trying to limit it to just two guns at Duluth this year -- a little 28-ga. 26" IC/M Repro to see if I can take advantage of the handicap birds given in the SC and 5-Stand events and my new-to-me 12-ga. D-Grade hammergun for the pigeon ring for which I've got some spreaders loaded up for the gun's IM left barrel.

If you can do it with only two guns you will be my new hero I'm leaving the Lefever and the grade 3 16ga hammer gun home...tough decisions

If you decide your under gunned come on over I'll be able to fix you up

Actually, I could easily get by with just one gun -- by taking my Sporting Clays Classic Repro -- my nominee for most versatile doublegun on the planet. However, I'm quite sure the two I am taking will be adequate, but thanks for the offer anyway.

You never know if that passel of guns you're hauling up will be enough either. So it's a good thing that Puglisi's is nearby, eh?
