I  Lemme guess, you think Glock is "the best" too???     

Hey scrooge you buddy 

[RichardDarkwood]

I see you drank the Benelli kool-aid.  You are too far gone to save, so keep drinking.  If you **really** think Benelli is all that, you are sadly mistaken.  Lemme guess, you think Glock is "the best" too???

What are you hunting with Glock???

I've hunted waterfowl since the age of twelve. I have used just about every brand of shotguns there are. benelli just rocks all of them. Go see for yourself.

Young hunters cant seem to figure out its the shooter/hunter and not the shotgun. I guided at several waterfowl clubs and when that bennelli hit the market all the "3 times a year Hunters" with big paychecks were buying them so fast you couldnt find one if you wanted one. I dont like their balance and their speed means nothing to me cause Im from the old school where'as you aim at one duck, kill it, then take another if you can. And if you cant? Then who cares?

All the hunting and killing Ive done and the only thing that matters is how I protected and helped save the sport for our youngsters. I'd just as soon as never kill again and just take kids out. The Bennelli is a good gun but it reminds me of those $5 shirts with the $15 alligators patches sewn on them.

no offense but you judge the book by it's cover and you look like an idiot to me. I jump shoot waterfowl on rivers and streams. That takes a lot of sneaking about. The Benelli has the smoothest most quiet action out there. It is totally waterproof. The saftey features alone blow the competition out of the water. Tom Knapp seems to think so too, seeing as how he has a Benelli with over 400,000 rounds fired through it with no breakdowns hanging in the smithsonian.

Go get one and wake up to perfection.

your all pansies for having to kill deer with a gun 


ARCHERY FTW! 

^ that is the only real way to kill a deer. not with a gun that can possibly ruin the meat on the animal, i had a friend who's dad used a winchester .308 on a deer and he didnt get to use the back left leg or the right front leg because the bullet tore up so much meat the way it passed thru.

I use a flintlock to hunt deer, cap and ball is the way to go.

 I hate these shows about hunting where they drive a guy in a jeep up to the animals being hunted, in a range that has 12 feet tall fence around it and shoot the animal in question with a high powered rifle from like less than 100 yards away.

theres at least 20 of those close to the city that i live in.

but if its a flintlock, then its a bit better, as that actually takes skill.

What? should i get a compound bow and a " tree stand " ?????

Stalking deer in NW Ohio with cap&ball is a challenge as it is.

i only do ground hunting, but sometimes ill do a deer stalk. when i did my first deer stalk (lol this sounds so creepy) i got a 6 point buck, pretty good sized. but, im most likely not going to use a treestand like some people do. if i really want to, ill go gun hunting (pellet gun that shoots like a .22 but is MUCH quieter) for squirrel/rabbit. the way i hunt is very different from the "modern" bowhunter. to me its just more fun.

I've hunted waterfowl since the age of twelve. I have used just about every brand of shotguns there are. benelli just rocks all of them. Go see for yourself.

Wasnt talking about hunting with a Glock.     Just making a point that so many people cling to a particular brand of whatever that they lose track of reality.  Benelli isnt any better than Browning, Remington, or even the lowly Winchester or Mossberg.  Different and innovative perhaps, but more different than "better". I too have been hunting since I was old enough to legally go out on my own (in IA that is 12 once you have the Hunter Safety Certificate), back then it was mostly pheasant, wabbit, squirrel, and some coyote.  I didnt hunt waterfowl until I was in high school and I did it both ways (blinds and stalk/jump the pond).  I added turkey, prairie dog shooting, deer, and antelope in college.  Today, I mostly do antelope, pheasant, coyote, and an occasional deer or 2.  I've hunted with everything except a bow and that is only because I am satisfied with what I do now. I reload my own ammo (not shotgun).  I shoot competitively in national matches with a Garand and an AR-15, I shoot in a combat handgun league with a Sig226/9mm (my duty gun) and an AR-15"A4", and I dabble in a clay pigeon course a few times a year for charity.  I used to be a certified law enforcement instructor for handguns.  This I know: the shooter truly is the key.  No brand, caliber, gauge, etc of gun is worth of hoot if the shooter does not do their part.  I've seen time and time again the old vet break out his 30 year old Remington Wingmaster and out shoot some new high dollar yupee and his $2000 "skeet gun".  I've seen the old vet take out his Model 10 revolver and out shoot some punk "ex-marine" and his Beretta 92 on the combat handgun course.  I watched and old vet use an old SP-1 on the open sight carbine course and beat guys (in a big way, too) 1/3 his age with new shiny M4's with Timney triggers, special irons, and all the other tactical BS.  On and on and on.  I dont care what shotgun you think is "the best", it is just a gun.  Your gun is just a gun.  If it fits you then fine, if you shoot it good then fine.  But I challenge you to hold your tongue even if you truly believe that the Benelli shotgun of yours that smells like kool-aid is "the best there is", because it isnt.  There isnt such a thing.  Get over it.         

BTW... if we are ever in the same neck of the woods sometime, I'll take my Browning Gold "Upland" vs you and your Koolaid-elli in a friendly competition. I'm sure we can find a clay pigeon course somewhere nearby.        Winner gets a case of their favorite beer.  I like Sam Adams this time of year.   

Oh, and just in case:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid

You are basing your argument on a Super Nova???   

Hand throwers are fine, but they are rather 1 dimensional don't you think?

I know right?  the only people that know what they are doing are the ones with the "small paychecks" and poor command of their own language.  Not to mention that Benelli is made, not here

I jump shoot 85% of the time, so I like throwing rabbits real low to the ground. ducks don't always fly the same way like a clay does.

You doubt the super nova????
