It was a great get together, and I was a little disappointed that more didn't participate, especially a few who live so close.
I was delighted to shoot a new-to-me 20ga BHE. I had literally only the day before, fitted a set of 26" barrels to it, though it still has it's original 28" barrels. I don't think anyone noticed I put on a pair of gloves, if only for the first few shots. I alternated between stations using an 1892 16ga BH and the 20. I attribute my less than stellar performance to the cold, and off and on spitting rain. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
In the end, it was a good time, everyone seemed to enjoy both the shooting, and the get together luncheon afterwards.

You mean those little white cotton gloves to avoid getting sweaty fingerprints on fine guns??

No, the kind I wear when I want to pet a Komodo Dragon.
