I'm glad you guys had fun with the 8 bores, I was lucky to even be able to pick up my gun with my left hand. I'm glad George did well with it but he should have had the first chance to shoot it in the final since he was the caretaker of it (and he returned it to me as he received it) but he was a gentleman about it and let someone else shoot it.

The loads were superb. Factory quality. We were darn lucky to have that ammo.

Mills: The 8 gauge shoot was BIG BIG fun!! I shot the two trigger PH with I think 34" bbls. The green shells seemed to have more punch than the clear Winchesters. 4 for 6 and I was happy. Thanks all for making this happen, as a life long waterfowl hunter and lover of big guns this was a real treat. Maybe a 10 gauge challenge so more members could participate with their own guns.

George: I agree let's do it!! I have not seen a group of shooter have more fun and more smiles ever! Most just wanted to survive 6 shots but the 8's are big fun however, I would not to shoot a 100 target course with one. It was great seeing everyone, one of the best weekends of the year----right after opening day of pheasants in SD and Ducks at Vanderbilt Marsh!!
