guns
 

My most prized possession is not a Ducati but an italian hand made shot gun.

On friday morning I will be using it for the first time this season.

It is a side by side box-lock double articulated trigger ejector
with a prince of wales stock made in 1970 and engraved by
Roe. D.

Beautiful to shoot with and makes the whole day special.


That reminds me of a claim to fame.

I used to shoot with Suzy Quarto every week.
but I had to change my day coz i couldn't keep me mind on the clays.






:lol:

OK someone has to ask who is SUZI QUARTO ???

Only joking.

:D I remember her. :devil:

Nice!!!!
The only problems with clay pigeons is that even for 1hour on gas mark 5 there a bit tough but on the positive side,you dont have to pluck them.......................

Suzy Quatro

Try shooting a 42" barrel flintlock muzzle loader with no choke and see how many you can hit.:P

We're going to have to start calling you Turkish like in Snatch if you carry on like this... :lol:

There is something about sitting at a table with friends eating game you shot or hooked yourself. Same as there's nothing like seeing my gun dog Sophey change from soppy looking pet to the best gun dog a man could have even though we haven't been out together since last year.

You can't beet a good day's shooting or fly fishing

I do like Snatch though good film.


:smug::D

Game or clays is good. 1932 needham side lock double barrel for me. Well into Grouse season up here on 'yorkshire moors. Prefer Beretta 686 for clays.

Don't know about this gun dog thing.... wet and soppy....??

I use the wife - to retrieve the birds--- ooooh errr.... stop diggin.....

I shot clays with a 686 for years, I changed to a 30 inch Browning Ultra sport couple of years ago but I still struggle to get the averages with it.
I am a left hooker so have been playing with the fit, the stocks are to high
and they don't like bending down far enough, so it still shoots high.

English Partridge Day friday, first day of the year for me.

Hope you enjoy your season
