Northeast SxS at Hidden Hollow

It's good to hear you gents are safely back at home. I agree with Dean, some heavy choke was needed this year on both birds. I started out on Friday with a Super Fox with its #2 barrel, choked 24 and 40. I couldn't do much with that right barrel. Most of my shooting was with another Fox choked 42 and 42, and some practice shooting on the second bird with a Fox SBT gun, choked 43 thou. All with 1-1/8 ounce loads of hard 7.5's. Best breaks were with another Super choked 50 and 51, using Winny AA Super Pigeon loads with 1-1/4 ounce of coppered 7.5's. But that Fox was just too heavy (9 pounds) to catch the first screamer. Yep I do have some Parkers too. Frank

Mr. Romig,

Could you tell us a little bit about that very nice looking graded hammer gun you are holding.


Wow a 34" flat rib 8 bore, straight grip. That is one very interesting gun. Whats the story behind it? Wow
