Professor guns

[Cold Spring]

I've had some things going on since the first of the year and had backed off a bit on clays shooting. Finally today things lined up and I had a 410 bore Winchester Model 42 out for Sporting Clays. She's one of the last 42's made in 1963 with Deluxe wood and is factory choked: Skeet. Today it was 2-1/2" Aguila import shells with 1/2 ounce of 8's. I like to call target configured 410's like this "Professors" - you hit or miss and with very few chippers. And every miss is an opportunity to figure out why and correct. Yep, I was a little rusty after two months' semi-hiatus and surely didn't come in with a good score. Not even close.

Well anyway, here are some pics of the 42.
