Santa dropped off a 20ga this year with my wifes name on it as well as mine. We shot a few clays yesterday. Ladys first so I let her have first round on the new gun. She did very good as its been a year since last shooting. She keeps making babies so the last couple seasons have been no good for her. But now thats out of the way and we have a boy and now a girl we can start to get serious about our hunting. Its a camo 870 compact pump with the new finish.
Well I don't think the new finish is much better than the last as it will still rust in a day if not oiled and it does not eject hv expert 3" very well but the kent 3" ejected fine. Im hoping its just the break in period. I've yet to pattern the gun and not sure what choke it came with but I did drop a bird at 10yds and another at 25yds with a handfull of missis inbetween and before the first kill. I'm going to finish off the season with it. Just to master a smaller amount of shot. When I switch back to the 12 ga next season I should be a slightly better shot I figure. But I've figured wrong before :wink: My 12ga is a canon about a 12" difference between guns and about 10lbs. I've bagged enough ducks this year not to worry about shooting 1 for 8 for the rest of the season LOL Here is Mater posing with the gun. He was in the truck about 100yds away for todays hunt. Just getting him used to the boom inch by inch.
