Stork delivered a new 5lb 10oz baby today

I used to be real big on bird chokes in quail/grouse guns meaning open . And I think I got that way from shooting how many 100’s of thousands of rounds of skeet . But now I find myself feeling more comfortable with tighter choked guns on sporting clays and of course I shoot the same guns at skeet now as well as live birds . I suspect THE most open gun I’ll take to the Koneski Extravaganza will be M&F with most being full and full . I find anymore with open chokes I tend to try and shoot to fast thinking the target or feathered bird will outrun the capabilities of my choke . Where as if I’m shooting a tighter choked gun I shoot more relaxed and I suppose in a more comfortable state .

I have been using the polywad in 12,16,20 and 28ga. They really work,give them a try.

Ballistic products make their Spreader X insert, seems to work well. Takes up the space of 1/8 oz shot, so I use 7/8 oz recipe wit 3/4 oz shot plus spreader x insert.

Thank you. I've used the Spreader X with 12 gauge with some success. I'll look at the thumb tack thingy too : )

Very nice! 28” are a dime a dozen. I am a fan of 26”

Thank you Mills. My Trojan 16 with 26" barrels just seems to point and handle so well, this is lighter but not a waif so I am starting to see the appeal of 16's on an O frame. Two things I do not have are a hammer gun and something with a damascus barrel. I feel like getting twisty and hammered if I can find one. In 16 of course... : )

My Grade 1 T/A 16 on the 0-frame with 26" Laminated Steel barrels is the only known Parker produced in this exact configuration. It is a wonderful woodcock and grouse gun.

Dean that looks incredible. I wouldn't expect to find one in a hammer on an 0 frame. Excellent : )

[Dean Romig]

They are out there Andy - keep looking.
