Another 410 post ...

[86er]

Here's Brandon's and his first pheasant. The shotgun is our 1939 Iver Johnson Champion single shot .
Today's hunt turned up a pile of quail and this one pheasant.

Grats Brandon, very cool.

Wow, nice shooting - Indianagirl was looking for one of those at a gun show in Fort Wayne today.

Good job, Brandon! You know it's like watching your boys grow up here, Joe. It's great. Excellent father.

Well, well I guess it's true what they say, the .410 is an expert's gun.

Congratulations Brandon!

Congratulations Brandon. Makes me wish I was that good with a shotgun.

Good job Brandon.
You shot all his tail feathers off!!

Well done Brandon, congratulations..
My Iver Johnson is the nicest looking .410 I have owned but it has been restored by a previous owner with non standard parts, so I may sell it on and just keep my H.W. Cooey 84.

Well done Brandon and Daddy too.

He is growing quick Joe!

Best wishes.

That's wonderful and I bet you even cracked a smile!

Congrats Brandon.

Just had a thought. Like many, my first shotgun was a .410. I killed innumerable birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc with it. But as I grew I moved eventually to the 12 ga., and truthfully, I think I became a poorer shotgunner. I let the larger shot patterns make up for sloppier shooting. Or, maybe it's just that as a kid, I didn't know the .410 wasn't "enough".

Shucks 86er, that is just pretty darn neat. Bet you are busting your button's with pride. My son just turned 18 but he is more into fishing than hunting. I still have a framed picture of him with his first fish, a 2 lb catfish. God Bless.
