Something different on the course- not a SxS

[Cold Spring]

Lately I've been doing some sporting clays shooting with a couple of Winchester Model 12 pump guns that have been gathering dust in the safe. Here's one of my old pets that went out with the gang this morning, a straight grip 2-pin "duckbill" vent rib Trap gun. Made in 1942 and still strutting her stuff with 89 ex 100 today. I missed 5 targets on the first 25 while getting into the gun, and only 6 on the next 75. She's choked "Full" at 35 points ..... so nice to turn clays into dust when I do my part.

Well she's not a Parker or a Fox but is just as much fun to shoot against modern competition wonder guns. Actually more fun for me because my gang is used to me shooting SxS's but the M 12's throw them for a loop. She's on the right in this cell pic.
