You'll shoot your eye out, kid!
« on: December 20, 2017, 02:59:39 PM »
My wife went with me to pick out my Christmas gift... We brought it home and I then bought and installed the required accessories and boxed it up for Christmas morning....

Her one question was... "What are you going to do with four shotguns like this one?"

Fair question, and I don't have answer that she'd understand... I just like them.

The new one is on the left....

Come to the Great White North, we'll give you something to do with them fine lookin shotguns....




Seriously though, if you want to play with them safely and legit-like, AND not "kill" anything, then check out Amatuer Trapshooting, it's ALOT of fun!

I've done skeet and sporting clays... Great fun.

Combat shotguns are altogether different in application and training.. A different kind of fun. Hell, I've taken 18" barrel guns on the clays course and was pleased to do much better than I expected. 64 of 100 with a short barrel cylinder bore gun. I can usually get 95+ with the old Franchi. My shooting partner did 99 of 100, I think to annoy me.

It's always by 1 with trapshooting... Bugger! It really is a great "gentlemans" sport if we can even use that term anymore. Golf with guns as far as I'm concerned... You work like hell to beat everyone, but afterwards you laugh and share a wobbly-pop.

Nice looking units.. (except the neon sites, EWE Gross!   :salute)

What are your thoughts on the heat shield?  I really like the look and I was thinking of adding one to my Mossberg just for the aesthetics.  I assume it makes cleaning slightly more involving, but other then looks would there be any additional reason to add one, or not add one?  I don't personally see any scenario where I would be shooting so many shells I would actually need it for its intended purpose.  But it sure looks cool :D
