Upper Winny is a 12-gauge/32" with Full choke, one of three pump guns in our squad of five shooters at the Charity shoot at Lehigh SC on Friday. Ours was high score of 21 squads with 444/500 and that Model 12 placed 4th of 105 shooters. Love to see the raised eyebrows and looks of shooters with expensive competition o/u and gas guns.

Well done Frank. Once again we all know it's not the arrow, although that arrow is a classic.

Thanks Daryl. Most of us have heard that dictum many times and while largely true its corollary is that no well practiced Indian can shoot well with a crooked arrow or while using a bow that's intimidating or s/he has little confidence in.

Regarding vintage repeating shotguns, to my thinking there's nothing more reliable, naturally pointing and sexy looking than a Model 12 with a Simmons vent rib. 70+ years and counting for Simmons doing ribs.

The little 20 is a honey. I like the Auto-5s too and the engraved Model 11s.
Remington could really doll a gun up with fantastic engraving when they wanted to.
