…or… in my case where I’m a bit slower and less of a wingshot… maybe
a 28 gauge…?
And of course that’d have to come in a super elegant, super light
side by side too.
Gawd… a fella’d need a fly rod to use all the flies he could tie from
the plumage from these l’il buggers!
I wish I were a kid back on the farm sometimes. I’d love to raise a couple
dozen every year…
… brass shot shells… or paper…?
Headshot .177 diabolo from a 12+J air rifle, with good glass. Nobody will hear it, and you won't be eating pellets.

Those two gauges are made in such small quantities that they are expensive!
ReplyDeleteWhat, .410? I get them all the time, in bird, defense loads. No any more expensive than 12 gauge or 16 gauge. 28 gauge may be expensive, I don't know, don't own one nor want too, my .410, 16, 12 gauges do all my work quite well.
DeleteNobody makes a hammer double smaller than 12 gauge anymore. Pity. I'd buy one.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day, '61-'63, my bad would take me dove hunting in Imperial Valley, So. Cal. My dad bought me a 410 pump, couldn't hit shit. One year, during the mid day lull, a friend stopped by and while they bs'd, the guy asked if i'd like to try his 20 ga. side by, sure! I couldn't miss! I was astounded! I wasn't a blind, uncoordinated, tard!
ReplyDeleteAfter graduating to 12 Ga., I was an pretty good shot. Haven't been bird hunting in decades, sure do miss it.
28 gauge, but you'd better be able to shoot.
