I'm not a skeet shooter ,but I really love to hunt birds ! Since I am the guy with the dogs ,I take a lot of my buddies hunting ,the hardest thing for a newbie to pointing dog style hunting is getting accustom to knowing the bird is there and is on its way at any second ,you can see the anxiousness in each step in to flush ,then they unload the first shot before the gun is even near the shoulder ,or the cheek ,then try to regain composure and you watch as the wad passes five feet behind the bird ! Of course there is never any ribbing to go along with any of this !! I like the " Bum, Belly ,Beak system ,same way I shoot just never named it ! Charlie is really going to have a good story to tell for sure !

Richard , No permanent mental damage done ! I Hope ?????? I had two small safes full of mostly Parkers ,I love them all but ,I find myself always going for the same few guns ,I figured it was time while the market is still fairly decent to pass some of them along ,I have sold all of my Trojans , and all my V Grades ,including an almost new cond. VHE ,that was so well preserved ,I wouldn't even shoot it ,it didn't even have marks on the reciever where it shows the shell casing marks , all of my 10 Ga. guns ,a few other 20 Gauges ,I really like the 20 Ga. guns ,but some I shoot better than others, I had a nice D Grade collection from 10 Ga. to 28 Ga. ,I have kept the 28 Ga. ,one 12 and one 16 , plus a couple random guns ,I am not sure , but I have been kicking around a Repro. 28 w/ Double Triggers and a Beavertail if I can find one I really like ! SEll, but never stop buying !

I reach for the same ones also...at least for this season My favorite is the one I just bought in this case a GH16 0 frame damascuss. Now I just need/want a set of 20ga damascuss bbls to fit to it.

I have the same problem with rifles as I sighted in three for the upcoming firearms deer season.

My theory is an empty safe is a lonely safe
