First off, I break out the old shotguns maybe twice a year at the most. But everytime I do, I have a lot of fun. I usually don't have anyone to work the clay thrower, so I will screw it down to my rifle bench and work it myself. It's been a LONG time since I have done this, as I have been working on building a house. And, I am just not a shotgun guy, I love shooting revolvers mostly. Today I decided to have a go at it, and brought along 3 shotguns. I have nothing fancy, just a Mossberg 500 12 gauge, a New England 20 gauge, and a New England .410 bore. I got a JC Higgins 20 gauge bolt action too, but I seldom ever shoot it. Anyway, I did pretty good for me with the Mossberg, I only missed twice out of 25 shots. When I switched to the 20 gauge it kind of threw me as it is so much shorter than the Mossberg. I missed two, hit 3, and the last shot the shell stuck. I figured it would it was kind of hard to get it to chamber. Didn't have anything to knock it out with so I was done with the 20. The .410 is full choke, and I knew it would be super hard to hit with and only hit 1 out of 5. I stopped because the shells are so flipping expensive I didn't want to waste any. Anyway, I do this so seldom I just thought I would post about it, and tell everyone to dust the old shotguns off every now and then and have some fun! (The 20 gauge shell popped right out with a cleaning rod when I got it back to the house by the way.)
