I wonder if Gino and Sandro will manufacture fly rods soon?

Mind boggling stuff. I've tried all those shots with Brownings,
Winchesters, Remingtons, American Arms and a host of others. Didn't
work. Never realized how superior Benellis are. Gotta get one.

who wonders just how much a finely checkered persian walnut grip would
add to the cost of a double barreled, blued steel italian fly rod.


They may be great for shooting clays, but could you hit a duck with one?


Bill


Well, I've hit ducks with with sticks, golf clubs, bricks, garbage
cans, bowling pins, muffin pans, walnuts, lead pipes, a frozen cat,
automobiles, forks, rocks, TV trays, books and coaxial cable. Messy
business. Not sure I'd want to do it with a presumably very expensive
shotgun.

wreaks havoc with the finish, don'tcha know.

Shot any fish lately ? :-)

Bill


Not as easy as it sounds. For one thing, there's that whole
refractory index thingy.....makes it very difficult to lead them
properly. Besides, the first round pretty much puts the rest of the
fish down; time to move to the next pool. Lots of hiking and very
expensive, what with the cost of steel shot. And then, even when you
hit one of the blighters, what's left ain't fit for much but the meat
grinder and fish patties.

giles
a gallon of clorox and a nice net about a quarter mile
downstream......that's the way to go!

Mythbusters have shown that bullets don't travel well underwater.
