Rich: My experience in the duck blind has been like yours. I've been shocked at a couple of high-flyers I've stoned with my long-barreled G Grade 10, using Bismuth short #5's. Is it the Full and Fuller chokes, the weight and balance, or simply the mojo that the boys in Syracuse built into the gun during those magical weeks in 1906? Regardless, I've had few shots more satisfying, and the old girl obviously still enjoys a good romp! TT
