Title: First 20 guage Bird
Post by: Hayudog on April 04, 2013, 12:32:14 PM
Closed the deal on my first 20 gauge bird.  Darned near missed.  Killed him at 20 steps.  Baikal 20 single shot, TSS 9's and a Sumtoy choke.

Doug, nice bird for first bird with the gun.  Get a 'smith to do some trigger work.  I had William do mine, but you only sent your barrel off as I recall.  It makes a big difference.  Check out my first bird with my "project gun".  It was a good start, too.  :wave:
