What Won't You Buy??

Ejectors on a gun that I intend to use for hunting. They're fine for clays guns, but the only thing I don't like more than searching around for empties while hunting is leaving them to litter up the landscape. Having typed that I realized that most of my using upland and a few of the waterfowl guns have ejectors. I guess it isn't a deal breaker.

I've developed the knack for popping empties into my hand, but on the rare occasions that doesn't happen, I could not agree with you more, Bob.

Bob Brown and mobirdhunter:

I can assure you that cracking my K80 and side swiping the empties as they emerge from the chambers with those powerful K80 ejectors into a shell bucket after a "dead pair" on a clays course gives me great pleasure but.... I hate to miss an empty in the woods/field.

So you're the guy who teaches those college boys and girls to slap their empties, a skill I have never learned after about sixty years of competitive shooting. Do you offer a video? If so, thanks for sharing.

No, I am not the inventor of that move and there is no video... but thanks. Fact is, it took this ole fart a bit of practice to get it. The kids kept telling me it was cool... a bit arrogant I suppose but it was fun to learn. Learned to catch em both in air on ejection also.... LOL....

That’s EXACTLY the way most people took it when Woo did it except for him and his four wannabes.

Most International Skeet shooters and box bird shooters catch their empties and quietly deposit them in the proper receptacles. Not a negative comment on shell swatters, it's just the way it is. The Olympic Skeet Mixed Team finals did not come off with this polite way of disposing of empties because, oddly, the hosts did not place receptacles next to the shooters the way it is usually done. However, the shooters caught their empties and tossed them to the front of the shooting stations, out of the way of shooters. It was very pleasant to watch this "good behavior".

Someone I know who will remain nameless bought his daughter one of those horrible cheap 410 over unders and a 22 rifle for “under $1000” If it were under $500 he still would have paid too much. These guns will never live to be handed down to future generations as heirlooms. What a shame. There is something I avoid.

Ejectors don’t bother me after years of shooting skeet/trap with a K-32 . I’d crack the gun open close to my chest then pull the hulls out the chambers . Same can be said when I shoot the DHE 20 I recently acquired or my VHE 20’s , crack the gun open back close against my chest . Very rarely do I waste any hulls I’d reload .
