There must be a bunch of us who are earning their living by shooting a shotgun, judging by the number who are raping their shotguns in the interest of hitting that "one additional bird". Do you guys keep a record of the additional money you win when shooting a raped gun compared to the additional money you spent screwing it up? In my experience, the gunsmithing costs much more than the additional money won with these guns. Why does every gun purchased have to be a "quail gun"? Don't we already own a few or more quail guns? I will refrain from using the old line, "Learn to shoot.".

With eyes that seem to be getting worse as I age and with muscles and joints that are working overtime to keep me out of the covers and at home where I can be comfortable, I don't feel awful guilty about "raping" MY little VHE 28 so I can pretend I'm a better shot than I really am and can bring home a couple of grouse and a woodcock or two to make my walk in the woods a little more worthwhile for both myself and Gracie.
