I think shooting from the sitting postion is the hardest, if you can't stand up to shoot. That's why layout blinds are so effective. Never mind the fact you can virtually make them disappear- when you flip the lid you are in a good postition to shoot from.

Nope 3.5" shells are definitely not for everyone and I respect that just as I hope they can respect those of us that choose to occasionally shoot them.

I doubt you do anywhere near the amount of shooting with your '375 and 416' that even the casual bird hunter does with a shotgun, especially multiple shot volleys... since I'm gonna make a wild guess your '375 and 416' are both singleshots (am I psychic?), and I doubt (is hope a better word here?) you ever shoot them at steep angles into the air! Have you ever taken a steep uphill shot with one of the larger rifles? think about it.
Judging from the pictures I've seen, the stock geometry of the futuristic looking TC is much much different than the auto shotguns we are discussing here anyways. Only a simpleton would compare the two.

My mistake...I though we were discussing pumps as the original question asked. You might be surprised what guns I actually own. As I've asked before...please no assumptions and please no words in my mouth. It's getting tiresome.

Also please see post in shotgun diagnosis about my Mom's saying.

Bring that dog of yours down here Jamie between Trev and myself I am sure we can get you into whatever you want waterfowl and upland.

Break'm where they are, not where they are suppose to be

As we get a bit closer to the hunting season, we play stupid little games at the club. One I enjoy is pulling for my partner, they have no idea when the bird is coming and the gun has to be held low. Another is to pick off a piece of what ever is left of the clay after the first guy blows it up and perhaps my favorite is to see how close to the ground you can break the clay. (Long shots).
I wish we had a sporting clays course down here in the south. I hear there are plans and construction is suppose to start this fall... But we will see.

Jamie we do the same thing or we trun around with our eyes shut and when you hear the thrower throw the cly you turn around and try to hit it (with your eyes open) helps with aquiring targets faster.

Oh well, school starts up again soon and all the Grade sixers won't have as much time to spend on here.

Had a great day in sheep country today and plan on spending four or five hours at the range tomorrow so all is good!

[Versatile]

Mintaka we use single shots and O/U so the guns are broken. We are also not at a range but in a field using our own thrower

There ya go again sheephunter! First, I was a high school physics drop out, and now I've been demoted to merely a 6th grader?!?!



How bout you tell me a little about your .375 and .416 then? Watcha got?

Please read above DUK...I never called you a 6th grader. Please, one more time...no more words in my mouth.

I have a secret plan though... Let me tell you I have been comming up with this all winter, Spring and summer.

I am going to get myself a MUCH better Blind, spend more time scouting, hunt farther away from the city...
And if that fails I am going to hire a ^@#%%@^ guide.


I cant wait for it to start!

Jamie

Jamie...I've got to talk to you about blinds....we have a pretty sweet deal on em....trust me.

And you dont need to hire a guide...we just need to plan a trip and we'll shot 2-3 days and shoot our limits no prob.....we need to talk!! heh

I should add...I shoot a Browning BPS in Shadowgrass and so far it has been a very good gun for me. No problems, I shoot it nicely, and it just plain works..

That being said, the Nova is a hell of a gun. I saw the one for $375 on CGN and really considered snaggin it.....

I've never been unlucky enough to punch myself in the face....

[ABDUKNUT]

Yeah there's nothing wrong with a BPS... except for the fact it says Browning on it!

They remind me a lot of the Model 12.

The original SG camo is very, very hot, for a camo gun-
