Default Koneski/Benedict/Griffith

My friend Mike will answer to any of those three nicknames along with one or two others

Here he is with his new to him VHE 32-inch VR Pigeon gun, straight gripper to boot. First time out with it today and starting to get in tune for the Southern. He even let me shoot her! Notice how he's under the radar with his Fox and Lefever hat and pullover.

Hey waidaminute.... he swore an oath of allegiance...






I like your follow-through Mike but that clay is still flying...

Sadly Mike looks good no matter what garb he threw on after breakfast.

Is that a single trigger or am I not seeing the two? I'm sure it's got plenty of choke in it for him to create smokeballs in the hills.

He needs to start shooting the Editors' Gun. Now That thing breaks clays!

Beautiful wood on that one. As for the owner, well, uh, probably just a long winter and a lack of oxygen to the brain. But then again he hasn't been able to dress himself appropriately since the demise of Garanimals for adults. He'll pull out of it soon.

Randy, don’t knock Garanimals. It keeps it simple!! Kind of like denim, black tees and plaid shirts. Always appropriate and never out of style. 😁

8 lb-13oz on that frame, WHOA. That one came out of the Men's Department for sure. It has to be a real joy to shoot. It surpasses my 34" VR gun with a PG wide comb trap style stock by some 7 oz. I must have missed that when you first told me of it. I'm envious. Congrats on that one.

Mike can share more details. What I know is the VHE is single trigger, 1-1/2 frame, safetyless, tight IC left and Full choke right. Yes you read the chokes correctly. He broke some clays today!!
