No degrading Mr. Weed-digger at all- not his fault he's a Limey, that's a condition of birth- And calling him fat- well, seen any photos of: Fatty Arbuckle, Herman Goering (correctly spelling Goring with the umlat over the letter o) Jackie Gleason, W.C. Fields, etc- all masters of their art and craft, and all a tad beamish. I have no friggin idea what a P34 gun is- I collect and shoot German pistols, and a Walther P-38, damn fine weapon- doubt that's what the "Digster" uses to decimate those loooooong ranging "black ducks" in Limeyland--I make fun of the Limeys just as another Mick (heard of the late Jack O'Connor by the by?) did- when he penned these words: "You haven't been conned until you have been measured for a proper gun fit by a British gun maker"- of course, if The Digster doesn't shoot a Limey made gun, then all bets are off- P gun- Purdey? Powell? I'd like to see how he'd do in my 'neck of the woods" on crows with that gun, tight choke tubes and shells of his choice- pass shooting as he has perfected the art of which- is an art- Fred Kimble, Nash Buckingham, Paul Curtis- all "past masters"- but taking snarling incoming crows ready to "strafe" the Johnny Stewart caller in heavy foilage with a strong cross wind in a May Michigan crow shoot-that is, also an art-like to see how he'd fare at that-- crows ain't Sporting Clays- they have one trait also seen in decoying Canadas coming into a strong wind- when "spooked" they flare straight backwards- and the killing shots are then in a split-second at their feet-trust me on this--
