I'm committed......

[Gerald]

I started off shooting a 20 ga. crack barrel at doves. I got to where I held an extra shell in the left hand. I took the first shot as soon as the birds got into range, reloaded and got a second shot before they got out (?) of range.

Shot many a box of shell with that shotgun.

Got a 12 ga. auto a couple years later for Christmas. Dad took me on a guided duck hunt a few days later. When it started to get light the sky was empty.... no ducks flying. After a little while, I saw something small swimming next to the decoys. I asked the guide what it was. About that time it took of flying and the guide said shoot...shoot. So I did and kill my first ever teal.
