Today was the first time I have ever hunted with a hammergun. It's a Husqvarna Model 100 in 12 gauge. Nice light gun at 6.13 lbs with 27.5" barrels. Choked full and X-full it makes it a bit difficult to hit fast moving close targets. I need to buy some spreader loads for it I think. I was shooting Kent Gamebore 2.5" shells in #6 "diamond" shot. Walking around a still standing corn field I flushed a few doves which flew straight into the bordering trees. Miss. I did manage to hit this rabbit with it. I have to say after always carrying hammerless guns, this was quite different and I constantly found myself reaching for the safety with my thumb. It was 12 degrees when I got out into the field this morning, but it was fun to be out nonetheless.

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas...
