My dad did pretty well with his poly-choked Ithaca. Must not have hurt anything to have it on there.

I’d love to have a springer! Got one to spare?

It’s hard to figure. Might be poor reading comprehension or too immature to admit they misunderstood. The convo does make me want to get a German shorthair. Like I need another dog!

You get it.

Lighten up Francis. The Vizsla is long gone, so you can stop worrying about him.

Versatile isn’t just the description. It’s defined by a breed used for furred and feathered game, that points as well as retrieves. Do you still need more clarification? Are you laughing because you finally understand?

It doesn’t matter. The point is a lab isn’t considered a versatile breed.

You don’t understand why the other breeds are called “versatile” breeds. You made that obvious.

Are labs bread to point, and retrieve all types of game? My Vizsla was great for upland birds, rabbits and retrieving ducks. Labs don’t usually go for furry animals.

I’ve been to some pubic areas but none had birds.

I checked your posts in other threads. I see what you are. You’re lucky you haven’t been banned; most forums don’t put up with that.

And all I did, which admittedly I could have put into a different thread, was ask about the 16 throwing a better pattern. I accept responsibility for that part of the derailment.

🤡, I’m not sure why you can’t understand that I pointed out in my first post (which you read five times), that the payload is not the same. I said the optimal load for the gauge, and even gave examples. I can’t teach you to understand.

The question is patterns. All things being equal would require the same number of pellets, otherwise, of course the 20 ga. patterns will look skimpy. If you don’t understand, well, it’s ok to keep quiet 🤡.

I’ve seen some terrible shots and game hogs load 5. Usually blazed away and loaded five more but didn’t usually get birds.
