Hey, I turned in my scorecard but they didn't have an 8 gauge class! What a bunch of small bore snobs!

Score card what the hell is a score card??????

For those who don't know, yet, Mark Oullette shot a 38 on the Hunter's Clays course with his Parker eight gauge. What a guy. Maybe he will tell us about his big eight and post some pictures.

When Daryl and I turned in our cards we surpassed the 11am deadline. Not only can we not shoot but telling time and reading the rules seems to be a problem as well

No easy fete for him or anyone else. Mark was showing me the gun and let me hold it. It was one heavy beast and I could feel the strain in my forearm when I pointed it. Of course once you get that gun moving momentum is going to keep you from stopping your swing. Nice woodcockin' gun for sure

The problem is when you are swinging on a right to left crosser and then have to stop the momentum to swing on that left to right crosser.... I really don't know how he does that, 14+ pounds swinging one direction and then stopping it to swing the other way...... That's good shooting.

I agree what Pete, Eric, and Bill have said. The presentation of targets were quick crossing shots and most of the second clay targets for the true pairs the shooter needed to react quickly for a score or you lost the clay in the trees and brush. Not an easy feat to do hefting up a 15 lb gun and what was it....? 36" barrels? I think Mark shot the 8 gauge all weekend. Every time I saw him he was carrying the 8 gauge. He got a nice work out carrying that gun up and down those hills....

Mark let me shoot his 8 gauge I never shot before that scratched one more thing on my "bucket list". 1 3/4 oz of lead on a gun that massive had minimal recoil.

Thanks Mark!
