I don't have my books unpacked and on hand yet. But, one of the few Parker books, I can't remember which one, Johnson, Baer, or Muderlak, one had a quote by a Col. Askins on the use of the small bore shotgun. I wish I could remember it. It was funny, albeit insulting to owners of the little gun.

I've been shooting a .410 SXS at sporting clays the past few weeks. Though my scores are not as good, I am supprised at how well a clay breaks and how far away it will break even with #9 shot. It is choked full and full.

The quote is something like:
"If a man can't handle a 12 gauge shotgun he might as well take up golf" A little .410 or 28 gauge is a fine gun for a woman that can't handle the recoil of something larger. One of my favorite writers, Robert Ruark said: "Use Enough Gun" I'm a great believer in the quote. Destry

Hah! I just like to keep the boys down on the earth with my opposing opinions about "them leddle four hunnard and tens" and various other ladies guns. They get to waxing a bit too poetic about them and my stomach starts to churn a bit.

Destry,
I purchased this one for the grandchildren and cut the stock down to a 12 1/2" LOP. I think they will do fine with it on going away clays. When they get the knack of that I will start moving them out a little so they can figure out a quarting bird etc. With 2 1/2" shells there is NO recoil. Until then I'm getting to know the gun and reload for it. Harry |
