What a shotgun is supposed to do!

That's what I thought too, but here we still are.

Mind you, the pic the troll posted was pretty cool.
 
One day I was at the club with a friend. I brought my 870 wingmaster with a 20" barrel. He had his 11-87 semi shotgun. We were there to blow off some slugs and double aught buckshot. A gentleman was there waiting for some one with a shotgun to show up so he could play a round of skeet. We offered and away we went. He had a beautiful expensive over/under, my friend with the moderately expensive, nice shotgun and me with my $300. gun. I've never shot skeet before and only fired a shotgun once before. Amazingly enough, I kept up with them pretty well. I kept telling them that it was because of the 20" barrel and the open choke. We all had a great time but I probably had the best time of all.

It doesn't matter what you bring as long as you are willing to shoot it. And have fun.
 
This thread has turned into an amazing and long well informed re-tort to the original post....
I thank all responders, well actually MOST responders to this thread!
I dont think I would trash anyones personal shooting irons in such a manner. To me this is just poor taste. Right up there with discussing religion at the dinner table or making disparaging remarks about another man's wife/girlfriend.....It's just not done in polite circles.

It would be different if someone asked me my specific opinion about a certain model, but a blanket statement like this is not my style!!!

But, this is just my opinion...
Cheers Fat Tony!!!

shotguns are not ment for use on lock breaking, slug shooting and alley sweeping.

Actually a shotgun used for such things is a requirement for thier job by many members of this board. It's alot more important than shooting a bird out of a tree.

Here's what I think a shotgun should look like......is there a problem with that hnachaj ? :mad: Let me know if you need anymore of your flying pillows blasted, I'll be happy to fill em full of lead with my 14" 870! :D LOL ...just another internet tough guy - pouches off and then goes and hides under the bed :runaway:

Sorry, but for all those SOF want-a-be, shotguns are not ment for use on lock breaking, slug shooting and alley sweeping. While I do have an alley sweeper, it is not used on a regular basis for anything usefull! 99% of shotguns are used for hunting (including deer) and clay shooting!:dancingbanana: Those 12 inch and 18 inch barreled things make a very small minority. The shotgun thread should refer mostly to shotgunning and not a "So Macho" but not realistic space guns in very limited use.

The IPSC and assault guns should be refered to another more appropriate section.

Best regards,
Henry;)

Well It sure sounds unanimous to me... that obtuse and sycophantic post has earned this hero a place in the CGN Troll Hall of Fame....

REALLY!!!!???:eek: :confused:

I hope they kicked your agitating obtuse, sport dividing archaic ass out!!!:mad:

I can’t believe they would keep a politically naive and socially awkward person like you around? :confused: Then again with your delusional superior interpersonal and bridge building skills perhaps you are ISPC’s Québec liaison with the Sûreté and have been responsible for maintaining that rosy relationship you guys have with them?:rolleyes:
 
Pffffffft....this is a months old thread and Henry hasn't had the balls to come back and defend his nonsense. Might just as well let it die here.
 
This is very amusing and quite depressing towards our boys fighting in Afghanistan preserving the right of free speech. Here we have Canadians willing to ban someone for not having the same ideology as some of the posters. It is very similar to the Taliban killing and destruction of persons and artefacts that did not correspond to their way of life. Is not Canada a nation of free speech and ideas? So, if I make a remark about post containing the politically incorrect assault shotguns that have been veiled in the media to be posted in another section, that makes me a Taliban in Canadian eyes. I have a 9 shot Benelli that I have used for backup on pheasant shoots. I have also 39 prohibs among many other guns. Do I post them on a website? NO! Why? I would not give the opportunity to the antis to use this. If one would like a pic of one of these guns, I would email him personally.

Claybustr, the web is a maze of hearsay, truths and untruths. I do write not for one, but for several publications, in my spare time. I have done this for over 20 years. It is not my bread-and-butter, far from it! I do not do it for income; I am very well remunerated for my other abilities. It pays for over 8 weeks of vacation time every year, most of it shooting around the world! I will be this year in Morocco, France, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic shooting clays. Besides, shooting a good number of events in Canada and the US, most over 100 entries, I usually do well. As for my clay shooting skills, you are quite misinformed! I do have my ups and downs, specifically with some of the smaller Canadian shoots that have target visibility problems. Here are a few posted results from shoots that had over 80 guns:

Who is # 4?
Who finished top 10 at 3 Traveller tough shoots last spring?
Who shot a top 15score over 639guns on Benelli in Lonato?
http://forums.shotgunsports.com/messageview.cfm?catid=39&threadid=4310&STARTPAGE=2&enterthread=y
Who finished tied 9th overall/125 guns! beat all the AAs and US Team Members, at the Bud Wolfe Classic in Markham this December?
I have never been a C shooter. Maybe someone might think of me as such. That is his prerogative. NSCA screwed up class system has me as B. The Connecticut Travelers with their Traveller Tough targets have me as Class1. I shoot more Traveller targets than NSCA. Who finished 3rd, was second last year and won the year before the Kingston DU with 80 shooters? Who was in the top 5 for over 5 years at the Leucan shoot in Valcartier?

I don’t shoot competitively anymore. But, once in a while I still do well. I shoot for fun and to meet and mingle with shooting buddies from around the world.

As the saying goes: Bull#### talks, Money Walks!

The proof is in the pudding!

Wake up and look at the pictures! The bird was shot some 10 yards behind the tree or some 40 yards from the shooter. If you think otherwise, you have not hunted! We hunted, shot and retrieved 475 birds this year. Every bird is recorded. It is up from last year, down from previous years. Our best year was 895 birds, year 2 for Scotch!

Please enjoy your firearm. But be careful where you publicise it.

Happy New Year to all,
Henry:dancingbanana:
 
I don't think you should be comparing this thread with the war on terrorism!
I'm happy for you that you own so many prohib. guns, good for you! And to travel ALL over the world, wow!

A shotgun is a shotgun, if its 14" long or 30" long. Try not to shove it down my throat that a 18" shotgun is of no use while busting clay or shooting birds. They actually do quite well! Try it one day,you might like it!
 
Hnahcaj- the reason there is no free speech here is because this is a private forum. you agreed to the terms when you signed up. A genius like you should have known.

PS- Quit bragging about how important you think you are. People like you piss me off. you are a disgrace to the firearms community of canada.
