The Caldwell .410

[Bruce Day]

Bill, I can't imagine that he was not the expert on 410's that he purported to be. He wasn't shooting anything, just hanging around while Mike Koranda and I shot, but he seemed to know so much more than others, and I am truly a novice with 410's.

We offered to let him shoot the 410 and demonstrate, but unfortunately, he had some eye problems and wasn't able to shoot.

By the way, our member Mile Koranda is an excellent shot, and if I am not mistaken, won the 410 and 28ga distance events, I think I placed 3rd. Mike also did very well in the pigeon ring and sporting clays events. I placed at the 50% break shooting a Parker 12 C fluid steel with light loads at sporting and a Parker 12 C Bernard with heavier loads at the pigeon ring.

We both used Mike's AYA with 410 and 28ga barrels, as neither of us have the real small ga's in a Parker.

I know of a few "pilots" like that who hang around the airport all the time and never seem to fly anything. But boy do they have great stories of all their skills and exploits. "There I was, at 10,000 feet..."

I have found it a real pleasure to shoot and break bread with Mike Koranda. He is a real gentleman and a great shot.
