The Caldwell .410

[Kevin McCormack]

The first time I shot my first .410 was at a box bird handicap shoot. The .410s were handicapped at 22 yards but we were allowed to use the big Roman Candle 3 inch loads. I went 5 for 5 with 3 second barrel kills, then blew the whole thing by chasing my surviving cripple around the ring like a girl instead of a grown man. I didn't fully understand that you had to bring your bird to bag INSIDE the ring to win it all! Nevertheless it was the zenith of my low-grade .410 Parker performances. Of course I shot my higher grade gun a lot better........Did I mention I once went a way-back-when limit of 5 Woodcock with 11 shells with an LC Smith .410? Or do I need to move that over to the other site? Greg is watching...........
