Thats one great looking Shorthair. IMHO if your going to hunt birds without a good dog than you might as well leave the gun home also.

Beautiful pictures! Beautiful dogs. Looks like great hunting. Love the photo of the Pointer retrieving the pheasant in the water...

That can get costly... I've never done it but I hear some folks in the old days cut a few inches off the end of the barrels to accomplish more open patterns. It is a cheap fix to an old problem but it will definitely adversely affect the value of the gun when you go to sell it. |

Tight patterns
I bought a box of Parie Storm shells and shot them on the first day of our hunt, there rated at 1500 fps and you sure can tell they have some gusto!
I missed 4 birds at farily close range with my D grade - 30" barrels and choked Full and Full, at the end of the day found a target and shot a 14" pattern at 30 yards! went back to my normal load for the rest of the hunt with better results. I shoot the guns pretty well and would never consider messing with the barrels. |

Our friends at RST are making spreaders that are wonderful. At last conversation(the spring Southern) the 16 gauge were not quite ready. But they could be ready now. I have used their 12 and 20 gauge and they work great. Give them a call.
