Easy to tote, uses all sorts of ammunition, great teaching tool, easy to know if safe, and to inspect and maintain.
:D

I gotta find another one of these at a yard sale, or somewhere. Heck I ain't picky, an old Wilson Seven iron is fine.
Seems mine went head to toe with a John Deere and lost...

Hit a cut up golf ball and folks try to shoot it in flight with a shotgun.
Easiest way I know to get some cut up golf balls out on a range for folks to shoot with rim-fire and center-fire handguns and rifles...

Just pick it up and use like a long arm, to show stance, and all for rifle or shotgun...

A Black Lab [any dog] will go nuts chasing down that golf ball...
I am not sure what all dawg slobber is made of, some really good stuff, because subsequent shots, seem to go straighter and further...


While some are lobbing slugs from a shotgun way down yonder, sorta fun to lob a golf ball and see if one can hit that paint can.


Need to get the feral cat out of a shed? Hit a golf ball over in the area, and this scares the crap out of a cat, which when they run outside meet real live ammunition.

Hornet's nest are interesting.
I found this out y-e-a-r-s ago by accident.

Seems the more things change, the more they remain the same.

One the bunch was goofing off with the Spalding Seven Iron, hitting golf balls so others could shoot.
Hornet's nest hit...
In the quality practice drill of making a shotgun safe, and running like hell, the Seven Iron was thrown at the hornets [little known defensive tactic you see] and folks just find a spot in a farm truck and take off.
Evading is good...

So that is how the John Deere and Seven Iron went head to toe.
Actually seven irons are no match for Bush Hogs...

Just another tool in the toolbox. ;)

You crack me up with your stories...

I have popped a few (bricks) of .22LR at golf balls, but never tried lobbing balls with a 7-iron for shotgunning practice.....Hmmmmm

Oh, yeah....a 5-wood doesn't do much against a swarm of wasps, either...and fares just as poorly vs. the "Cub Cadet" as does the "7-Iron vs. Bush Hog"

Heavy shot and a tight choke are your friend (golf balls are heavy).

One person tries to hit the golf ball into a circle and the guy with the shotgun tries to make it miss.
