And by way of a closing of the circle on the Paton 8ga, after nearly a year since purchase, I am proud to say she has claimed her first grey goose (a greylag) on the foreshores of the UK on yesterdays dawn flight. A lovely 35yd goose from a skein of 7 birds, cleanly killed with 2 1/4oz of Bismuth No 1's using blackpowder in specially made brass cases. An absolute honour to use the big bore and hopefully the first of many foreshore geese in her renewed life on the marshes.
