Default Not quite like a "M-1 Thumb" but maybe close

Yeah- gonna be a Bluebirdy opener this Sat for ducks and Geese- so a short early field set up in a cut over corn field- hope to get a shot or two.

My partner, a retired Dr. is, like my son-in-law, a "Southpaw" and he has a fine Binelli fully camo 12 autolaoder- in LH mod. We had the Trius foot pedal clays trap out this past Sunday afternoon- I had my Smith 12 2E- I tried a few shots with his Binelli- loading and the safety was a bit tricky, but those Federal 1oz. light loads- shattered the orange discs and the recoil- like a .410

Guess I'll have to get lucky (again) at a DU Banquet and win one- at $1700 plus retail- a fella could get a good 12 VH shooter for that dinero- I did have trouble thumbing in the second shells, not used to an autoloader- but my sympathy goes to Charlie and his taped-up thumb. You never realize how useful those thumbs are until you rack one up-- Good fotos too bruce- Thanks for sharing
