And one of the "sharpest Blades" to ever come from Toledo- actor Jamie Farr- aka "Cpl. Klinger" from the older TV series M*A*S*H-- seems to me he may have mentioned Tony as well in that great TV series. Depends on the weather of course and may well be a "gun shopping trip" with my son-in-law to "The Big C" just a few clicks NE of Toledo- will advise. Yes, light loads and the shorter shell length is a good idea in older fine doubles. Many of the members like the RST shells- I have used them, also BP and RIO- do you handload, or have a friend who does this? You can customize your loads for your particular shotgun that way as well. If memory also serves, believe the late WW11 correspondent Ernie Pyle may have also hailed from the "Mudhen City"- not 100% sure- he once wrote about a local restaurant in Toledo run by two brothers who must have been friends with the Marx brothers- they specialized in a lot of "sight gags" and slapstick-ish comedy- ie: A waiter would come out of the kitchen, serving tray aloft, and shout "More rolls for table seven" and the tray would contain several rolls of toilet paper-etc--Ah yes, the "good old days"- when you could buy a Packard or a Parker from any dealer--:

Winous Club Marsh?? Great hunting stories I'm sure--
No I have not shot my great grandfathers parker....need light loads as I don't think my shoulder could take full loads. Season ends here the 6th. As I take walks in the morning and hear the ducks and geese til the shooting starts. Am looking forward to end of season though.....as I love to take wlks in the marsh....and can not again til season is over. sighs. I am blessed at having access to it.....I feel like it is 'my marsh' til duck season starts. Just doesn't seem right!
