Guess I got directly into the group of dead hunters!
My buddy Nikolai Vereshagin - famous mammoth reseacher is 98 now.
Three or four years ago I brought him to waterfowl hunting and he got 12G Francotte, thou he got light Sauer 20G at home. I asked him why he took heavy gun and he answered Heavy Waterfowler is a must!
I'm 48 now and several years ago I began to shoot B-25 Trap heavy gun with 30" bbls. I can hit everything that moves from this gun and I thought the gun weight is about 7 1/2 pounds. At the beginning I felt this gun was pretty heavy to me and especially for walking all day, but today I don't feel its weight. We worked it out together with the gun. I began to shoot snipes over my dog with gun even.
And just imagine what my shock was, when I bought electronic scales several months ago - the weight of the gun was 8 1/4 pounds!
I'm not gonna give it up and I'm gonna hunt with the guns that really can shoot
