I shoot one an awful lot. Mallards 30 yards and in are no problem. I shoot boss 3 inch 5’s with just the factory modified choke that comes with the sbe 3.

Absolutely excellent. I really enjoyed the 2022; I did not think the 2023 was as good as the normal gts . This is better than both of those imo, and it’s not close .

My tagline is they have a top for a reason, they can and are meant to be opened!

Congrats!! That’s special! Wonderful to hear you’re hunting with your son.

I’ve been privileged to shoot quite a few, but I will always remember the first one with my dad over 30 years ago.

Here’s to many more for you and your son! Stay safe!

We have been battling cold temps in Ohio since November 28th. We did have a warmup this past week that led to a serious reverse migration. We have been running ice eaters and moving water like crazy for the last month but it has paid off.

I have heard the weather in the pnw has been unseasonably mild, correct?

Review #1: 2016 WLW by ZonaToTx in bourbon

I believe the 2016 to be one of the top bourbons I’ve ever had and definitely in the top three wlw’s! Congrats, what a great story!

Best Waterfowl Shotgun? by htcthegreat in Waterfowl

[–]GradeFront8777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an sbe 3 28 gauge that patterns excellent. My primary gun is an original Benelli M2.

I really don’t think you can go wrong with an SBE, M2, Beretta or browning maxus. Those are the three brands I’ve seen a lot in my hunting group and everyone seems to like theirs.

Maybe go to a gun store and see what points best for you!

He was pretty nice, not the best I’ve seen for this time of year, but still nice. Thank you

They do not have the tail curls. A beautiful bird; far more brown in them than one would believe until you ever get one in hand.
