Did you know that your hammer guns are actually Wooden Tennis Raquets??

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

My son Henry (who some of you know) was trying out for the Shotgun Team at Clemson in South Carolina last week.
Tryouts are for the next 2 weeks as well.
They shoot trap, skeet and 5 stand.
When he was interviewed, the coach asked him when was the last time he shot skeet and he said two weeks ago.
What did you score? 24
What were you shooting? My 28 gauge H&R hammergun.
To which the coach responded: You can't shoot that - that's like a wooden tennis racquet.
Henry was quietly incensed. But Henry is an engineering student who thinks it's a good idea to make vintage Volvo 240 red-blocks develop 300+ horsepower with modern turbochargers.
Henry shot a 23 in his first qualifying round with his 28 H&R hammergun.
The coach has told him he must shoot AT LEAST a 20 gauge in competition.
I told him he has to be a good boy- at first.
