Here's a version of Owen's stool: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HAND-MADE-STRON...L-/191835937233Yesterday not many birds. Had a good time, but I may have been hallucinating from the heat which may have lowered perception of what fun is. Gil

We shot again this afternoon. The gun in this picture is a new to me Cogswell & Harrison AT with sideplates. First time I've shot this one but it performed perfectly and looked good when the birds were not flying. Better shoot today and many picked up limits. I opted for comfort in the shade but still had a few shots...Geo

For anyone interested, Academy Sports has a chair almost identical to mine and George's for $59.95, but in black. Mine is marked Cabela's, and has olive drab frame and legs and black mesh seat and back. Looks like the exact same design. https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/game-winner-deluxe-swivel-chair#repChildCatid=4739524 SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stan- your chair, and Brother Newberns as well, were most assuredly designed by a serious hunter- well worth the asking price. RWTF

Fine lookin' "Coggie" Suh. Not being into British fine guns, what is the "AT" series in C&H lineup. What are the: barrels, as to length and choking? Chambers? 2&1/2" Nice older series RST shell box- worthy of a photo page in DGJ, IMO anyway. Miss one or two for this old "damn Yankee" if you would. I'd dang near run into a forest fire wearing kerosene BVD's to get a legal dove season here in MI-- RWTF

Thats a far cry from a five gallon bucket and a burlap feed bag folded over double for padding I had in my youth. When I look at todays equipment, clothing, decoys, ammo and stuff we take so for granted its hard to remember where we started from. Five gallon buckets or crates for seats, surplus army equipment for clothes, or just wear what we had, one brand of ammo, plastic decoys about as life like as a road killed animal.

Morning Fox. The AT model "Coggie" stands for Avant Tout. A multi lingual like yourself would recognise the french for "ahead of all".
Standard 2.5" limey chambers, in 30" barrels. It shot like IC and Mod to me, but I haven't measured the chokes.
Best...Geo

A fellow forum member invited me to shoot yesterday afternoon with his son and a few others on a 15 acre millet field at his son's farm. The heat has broken a little since this last weekend and a nice breeze made it a great day to be in the field. Not a barn burner, but a good shoot. Some limits, but most guys bagged about eight or nine like I did.I used a 1911 Fox BE I've just gotten back from Bill Graham for barrel blacking and some high quality checkering on the replacement stock...Geo

Damn, George. Nice gun! I think it's time I met with John and organized an intervention plan. You can't wear those ear muffs when we do it. Gil
