Default WV Quail

I suffer from Reynauds Syndrome, my hands get so cold and numb that I have trouble with triggers and safety in cold weather, was 18 degrees when I left the truck. Picked up this little Beretta BL3 20 this summer and actually struggled more trying to get used to a single trigger
I have shot double triggers since I was 29 and and now am just shy of 72. Still was able to collect a 3 bird limit, one over each dog
Willie was the last dog out.

Nice Harold. Reynauds sucks. Our daughter has it bad at a young age. But those BL3 are wonderful little guns. Congrats on a good day.

Thanks Andy, hope your daughter doesn't have any autoimmune syndromes like scleroderma, my older sister does.
My best friend is an older Beretta fan, shoots BL 4s

Thanks Harold. Yes. JRA since 3 years old. But she is 22 and doing well. Modern medicines have been a blessing.

Once upon a time back in the 70’s Beretta I think it was made an O/U that was technically a single trigger but had what “they called” a selective speed trigger . I would like to have tried one just to see how it was the Betetta BL-2/S .
