Default Another one !

I’m supposed to be liquidating but a VHE 12 32” was dropped in my lap so to speak couple weeks ago . Guns been broken in the wrist but repaired where you can’t see it and of course the wood was redone and I assume checkering recut . Also the barrels trigger guard reblued . Rings like a bell and the guns 31 in the right and 38 in the left . It came with a pad of a Blaser with that damn hard sporting clays heel . So yesterday I put a KickEez on it and increased the LOP from 14 1/4” to a red hair short of 14 1/2” . Shot it pretty well at Pintail Point a couple weeks ago with that bastid pad . Hopefully I’ll give her a try at Carlisle Monday for Pastor Charlie’s shoot .

The straight grip negates all other compromising factors!

Over the years I’ve found I can shoot equally well or equally bad with an O/U or a SxS and the same can be said for a pistol grip vs a straight grip . A few years there I carried a Remington Model 32 and a Westley Richards straight grip boxlock SxS in the dove field . On a further note the 32 of course was a single trigger and the WR had two triggers . I could switch back and forth with those two guns and never miss a beat .
