Preface: I have known and do know some real characters. *grin*
I know this couple, he is married to a younger gal, only 4 months , but at 69 a younger gal is a younger gal no matter how you do the math.
Back around '78, or '79 they bought cases and cases of Winchester Western , 25 round box like the Police used, 2 3/4" , 00 buck and Slugs.
Sweet Thang is a Winchester Ranger series 1300.
Sweet Pea is a Winchester 1400.
Now this couple, downright embarrassing is what they are.
They hold hands, flirt, wink, and carrying on like they always have.
They can flat run a shotgun, heck shoot guns period.
They hold hands in a duck blind, letting go only to shoot.
Dove hunting, same deal, over there carrying on, and only to stop long enough to pop a dove and the dawg is so happy so go fetch as he was getting all embarrassed with all the mushy stuff going on.
Oh they have other shotguns, just these are the pet shotguns.
Clays, hunting, serious home use, just they know these guns so well and they can look at dings, scratches and character marks and get glazed eyes and tell you a story about that day.
They might be nearing 70, but they are smooth poetry in motion and the guns and loads still work.
Them old Win Western loads, they work and if it ain't broke, why fix it.
Nine inch and six inch dessert plates were set out, along with some 4x6" index cards.
To get warmed up, they shot some clays from a portable thrower using 00 buckshot.
So that would be nine pellets felling a 4" disc doing about 55 mph best guess.
Sweet Thang got to showing off and nicked a clay with a slug with the trap set for "grounders".
Sweet Pea just a grinning at Sweet Thang and getting them glazed over eyes about his younger gal...
*mushy*
Sweet Thang, with slugs, shoot-n-shuck and two holes on a index card from low ready so fast, so effortless and smooth, about 17 steps or so.
Sweet Pea putting nine pellets inside them plates from "right here" to "out yonder a bit".
Their kids don't worry about them, nobody does either, they have some old guns they know, with loads they know and add other prevention steps they use.
Dawg still keeps a paw over his face, he just get flat embarrassed the way them two carry on, but he is a good watch dawg...even if matters inside do get a bit mushy at times.
Just wanted to share about a couple of characters and their guns and loads...
They just suggest folks get a gun that fits, get to know it, find what it likes to shoot, and just shoot the piss out of it.
Makes sense to me...
