How daaaaaaaaare you guys.
This run on our whiskey is quite serious.

Busy day here yesterday. Picked up Buzz’s new trap gun Franchi Instinct Catalyst. He seems pretty excited to try it. If he makes a season and still is really into it, we can upgrade if needed.

Fedex guy is always the last delivery of the day, around 6pm. My new stock for my 6br showed up. Of course the guy forgot to include the action screws. Not a big deal for city folk, just run to the hardware store and grab a couple and cut them off. For me, the closest place is 45 miles away to get them. I already made that trip earlier to get screws for a different gun ?‍♂️ Guy says he’ll ship them out ASAP

Franchi is a good start. Of course they're owned by Beretta, so there's some shared technology.
Their OU's used to have a funny feature that a lot of shooters didn't like. I remember taking a Veloce apart and modifying it, but it was years ago. I'll see if I can dig it up. It used to be posted to shotgun world and the Benelli forums by me.
 
Cash’s little arms can hardly hold up a youth gun. It’ll be a bit for him yet?
I'm trying to noodle through that now with another son. I think he's 58" tall and educated-guessing about 11.25 lop. That part is a fairly easy fix. Bigger problem is getting light enough to handle, but not kick too much. I'm looking at Beretta and Rem autoloaders. When I get it figured out I let you what I did and how it worked.

Kids are spoiled nowadays. My dad gave me a single shot 20ga that kicked like a damned mule.

My first was bolt action 410 ?.
 
Single shot 20ga here too. And I didn’t have a centerfire of my own until I was 18. 2, 22s for the whole family and dad had a couple deer rifles. I heard his collection has grown quite a bit since I left

H&R 20 ga. bolt action without a front dot. Still have it. Remington 572 at 12, Christmas gift. Still have it. Savage 112V single shot 22-250 at 22. Yup, still have it, 4th barrel. P. dogging is hard on barrels.

My collection has also swollen over the years.

If you're looking at the bead you ain't looking at the bird. :-D
 
Ha, looks like they are jumping old school T10's. Sweet?
Yeah our chutes are basically T-10's with a few modifications. The big difference is they are steerable. You still have a pretty quick decent rate so you can't fly them but they steer pretty good. We use them in air shows and the DZ's tend to be pretty small. To qualify for air shows you have to have 35 jumps and hit a three foot square five times.

I remember them as turntable, still just a human lawn dart!?
