JiK... ahhhh... buddy... yer a definite fuckin fountain of knowledge but... I said DON'T use a shotgun. A fer the 22, I said you had to be a marksman to use one. I am a marksman and my bullet ain't goin a mile. AND *I* know about shotguns. You might be book smart about weapons but I dare say I could outshoot ya in the field (open? who the fuck shoots open in the bush?... skeet/trap/field, yeah, but a big bush shooter is always dime if he has the eye).

Dunno why I am gonna say this... I used to outshoot an international and European skeet champion regulary in the heavy brush woods of New Brunswick. He used a Browning custom that would cost over $30,000 today. I used a Russian full over modified that cost me $300. (The Russians KNOW how to build a GOOD shotgun for the bush. None of the US makers make a shotgun I would prefer.) He was a master on the range but I put supper on the table... often AFTER he had a go. It's only polite to allow the other guy to have a go when you got the last one.

Guess I said that because I just miss competing with my bro?
