Why so many? Because you've got so many!

Personally, I'm trying to limit it to just two guns at Duluth this year -- a little 28-ga. 26" IC/M Repro to see if I can take advantage of the handicap birds given in the SC and 5-Stand events and my new-to-me 12-ga. D-Grade hammergun for the pigeon ring for which I've got some spreaders loaded up for the gun's IM left barrel.

If you can do it with only two guns you will be my new hero I'm leaving the Lefever and the grade 3 16ga hammer gun home...tough decisions

If you decide your under gunned come on over I'll be able to fix you up

Actually, I could easily get by with just one gun -- by taking my Sporting Clays Classic Repro -- my nominee for most versatile doublegun on the planet. However, I'm quite sure the two I am taking will be adequate, but thanks for the offer anyway.

You never know if that passel of guns you're hauling up will be enough either. So it's a good thing that Puglisi's is nearby, eh?

For the all gauge event, you forgot to pack the 28 ga AHE and the Fox 410...... You are starting to forget things, glad I'm here to remind you.

I buy-em to shoot-em. They all get used either on clays or behind the Labs although I have my favorites. Like Rich, I'll pack 8-10 guns to a shoot and if I'm shooting locally usually 2-3.
Just think how boring it would be if we all just brought just brought 1 gun to Hausmann's for 3 days of show and tell. Blah!

Daryl, I agree completely with both you Rich about bringing multiple guns to shoot, show and tell for 3 or 4 day shoots. However, Duluth is a little different as it's basically a one day of competition shoot. Shooters may get in a couple of side events on Friday and maybe on Sunday forenoon and that's about it. In addition, I'm travelling to the shoot with two others riding in a single SUV - not a pickup truck. We simply don't have room for each of us to bring a bunch guns and the various gauges of shells for those guns.

Having said the above, maybe I could ask my travelling companions to leave their guns and shells at home in order to allow more room for me to bring 8-10 guns. I could explain to them that Daryl and Rich shamed me into asking.
What do you think, you think that'll work?
