    Default New Shotgun!

    I actually got one that fits me! Wow what a difference! A couple of weeks ago Dicks sporting goods had a sale on the Franchi Diamomd O/U 26" $799.00 I'll post a pic later, She's a beaut! I shot it at Colorado Clays for the first time a couple of weeks ago and did okay on sporting clays. Shot 2 rounds of Trap for the first time and got a 17/25 and a 18/25. and skeet was a different story I'd rather not say. LOL! Then we went to Quail Run last Sunday. What a hoot! We had a great time there, Improved in all three events! The best thing is they don't have clay counters on each stations yet, So if you wanted to practice a double on a report pair after everyone was done with that station well... you know what I mean. Too bad it's so far out there I'd shoot there more often. [wink] Larry

    Congrats
    Post pics
    Funny how people fail to realize how important fitting really is.
    Shotgun fit is THE most important thing in shooting one well.

    enjoy.

    Here's what it looks like. I just got some extended choke tubes from "Carlton" in Nebraska. They sure make a difference. Improved Cyl.,Cyl.,Skeet,Mod.,Improved Mod.... Sweet!!!! I've killed Pheasant & Quail with it and I'm very happy the way it fits me.
