Super quick question about "barrel selector" lever on Citori shotgun

Hunting grouse and woodcock in eastern thickets or over flushing dogs might change your mind on having your gun "open until flush." To each their own, as long as it is safe for all participants.

I chose to put a deposit on a Drahthaar for a reason, I much prefer a pointing dog, over a flushing dog.

So you chose your dog breed so that you could avoid a mechanical safety? You must really dislike safeties. Hmmmmm.... there are probably more important criteria to consider, but I am glad it is working out for you. Good shooting.

Now that is a huge assumption, and a very wrong one at that.. I chose a pointing dog, because I like having a very good idea of when and where the bird will flush, so that I can position myself and other hunters in the best possible shooting positions. As well , I don't have to be right beside the dog when it finds a bird, as pointers will point the birds and allow the shooters time to get to a proper shooting position. This allows us to cover a lot more ground, faster than a hunter can possibly walk.

Heck, hunting ruffies in tight cover with any dog in the early season can be tough!
our GSP's hold tight but the birds don't always!!
