I’ve recently been doing a lot of forum research in the deep world of shotgunning. And that is no understatement “it is deep”
Did you all know that the downfall of the world was when the modern factory loaded plastic shotshell started using wads with shotcups. Supposedly negated the need and proper function of the choke.
The demise of the perfect shotgun gauge the sweet 16 was another very dark night in the world. The gun rag writers got the biggest blame for that one.
Anyway I could go on and on. It is all very interesting and I am sure there is indeed some validity too much of it.
The thing I noticed the most in my traveling all of those forums was this ever familiar name kept showing up.
Yes our very own Hobieator.
I don’t know how you do it brother Hobie, but you have my vote as king of the gun forums.

What none of you realize is that Hobie is a actually a composite AI personality that doesn't actually exist in what we consider the "real" world. The movie "Tron" was loosely based on Hobie v1.2. I know I've seen Hobie make multiple posts on multiple forums at the same time. Don't ask me how I know these things
casastahle,
It's been nice haveing you around here, I guess we've lost you to the "scattergunners".

Windows and tabs are wonderful tools!
I just hope you're not linking me with some of the loonies on those forums! I think some of them just sit and sniff their old paper hulls while watching tapes of Curt Gowdy and Grits Gresham shoot pheasant in Kansas... not that that isn't fun.

Howdy
Funny that a 16 ga. gun would get mentioned here...Especially since I drooled all over a 1922 vintage Mod. 12 Winchester 16 ga. this past weekend. Maybe it wouldn't be a pretty sight to see me running around with disposable income at a gunshow....scary thought, but since it's currently just a fantasy I guess it's OK.... AW
P.S.
What else are you supposed to do with those old paper shotshells besides sniff (deeply inhale) them before AND after firing them?????

Re: OT - And I Thought Jack Bauer Was The Man ;-))
One of my longest-held dreams is to own a high-grade 16-ga., with straight-grip stock, splinter foreend, and HAMMERS, all most exquisitely put together in a light and lithe package --- one that seems to literally come "alive" in the hands. One that shoots exactly where it (and I..) looks, and never fails to find its mark...
Maybe --- someday --- maybe. Someday
