Thanks, Blue Jays,flattery will get you anything(G)....
One thing, I'm more of a generalist than a specialist. The hot shots down at the skeet, trap or clays range, or in the practical or IPSC matches need lose no sleep over my possible competition. But I've done most everything there can be done with a shotgun at some point,and regard it as my duty to pass along what I can.
My shotgunning this year will probably consist of some clays,informal handthrown trap, some dove hunting where plenty of lead gets returned to the Earth(G), maybe a little snow goose shooting, and benchtesting and zeroing my deer 870 and then using same in November for freezer detail. I skipped turkey season for lack of time, and will not go quail hunting unless someone with a good dog invites me. Maybe squirrel hunting and rabbits. I'll almost certainly teach someone along the line, tho I no longer instruct formally.
Tuc, we can agree on disagreeing, but I urge you to try that exercise with the soda. You'll learn something I think you could use.
