I know what you mean, Chris. I was invited to a shoot yesterday afternoon on a big sunflower field. We drew numbered poker chips for our stands. I drew one at the back end of the field. I killed one bird. All the doves were at the other end. Yet, it was a great afternoon. My host was apologetic but, I told him, I would rather sit in a dove field and watch others shoot than sit in the house. |

Amen Stan, my buddy and I shoot so many year around, that when we invite friends up to shoot, I find myself drinking more coffee and talking with them than shooting. We are very fortunate to have this little piece of heaven on earth to shoot on, many birds, everyone has the perfect spot. Within the next few years it will be gone. The houses and businesses are closing in. A day in the field with a fine gun in your hands is the best!

I doubt there'll be any four lanes built out here anytime soon. Biggest employer is Plant Alvin Vogtle, a nuclear power plant, and a two lane handles the traffic to and from it with no problem. It's a nice little piece of "heaven on earth". SRH |

Stan,
I purchased a Bernadelli Brescia 20 gauge hammer gun new in Italy some 49 years ago. I shot a lot of skeet with the lite little gun. It went to the mountains of Southern Italy to take pheasant, hare, guanine fowl, etc. I moved to London where the little gun and I poached pigeons. Sadly it was stolen from my home in England while I was in Innsbruck to watch the olympics in 1976. It was a handy little gun and I miss it. It warmed my heart to see your gun in the field. Harry |

I like that the newer Hammer guns have safeties. I love hammer guns, but usually only hunt them when by myself.
