I shot with and against the best shooter in the world and 90% of them will help you be a better shooter . I watch them shoot and if I can pickup just 1 trick they do will make you a better shooter . I love this You Tube and I spend hours watching videos on the top shooter and look for little tricks they have . 1st thing is you need a good accurate gun that fits you . You need the best ammo tailored for the type of shooting you doing . Your grip and trigger control on the gun is super important with a good mental attitude . You must have all that correct before you look down barrel . Sight pic will not win a match for you .

Re Machinist, Ditto on that! I guess there is nothing bad about liking an excellent piece of work! |

Still have my 444S. ![]() No shortage of 30-30 lever guns in the house, either, and all are worthy bear guns with the right load. |

Love my marlin guide gun 45-70..it's not vintage but it takes the pressures of the modern heavy ammo. The hardest kickin rnd I've ever shot was with a 12 gauge slug. I had an early 3.5 in chambered mossberg and a buddy that worked at federal cartridge he gave me a box of 3.5 in slugs......I took 1 shot and gave the rest back to him. 1 was enough.....I've never shot the big "african" calibers but I bet it wasn't far off

And my mossberg was the same factory camo yours probably had. Not a patch to the new camo patterns.

I've got a pair of remingtons, 870 super mag and 11-87 super mag that I use now, but I still have the 835. I haven't figured out how to let go like ncg has. That 870 bruises my middle finger during goose season shootin hot BBB 3.5's. The back of the trigger guard beats it up!

I can't let go either. I have guns that I haven't fired in years but I still like them and plan to fire them again some day. Either way, they'll end up being passed on to my son and my nephew. I am an accumulator and not the least bit bothered by it. ![]() |
