I have clear with a transitional lens for cloudy days and brown sunglasses for bright days. The transition (if the at the right term) goes to brown as well. I fish as well and I can see into the water well with brown. I also go with the largest lens that I can find as the glasses are trifocal...

Maybe it’s not a retriever test? I’ve seen 2 land marks and 2 water marks. One of the land marks may be a live flyer, usually a duck but maybe a pheasant. No upland component to AKC Retriever Hunt Tests that I know of.

Training the pointing Labrador by Julie Knutson (Bates) and her podcast Training the pointing Labrador are both good resources whether your dog points or not.

I believe that the AkC junior test is 2 single marks land or water followed by two singles marks of the other, assuming you are called back for the second series. No dog honoring at the junior level. Your dog will run by itself. I believe you can use a whistle to handle the dog. Google AKC...

And there are different level tests in HRC, AKC and APLA for example. Not sure about other organizations. In these organizations listed, at the Started, Junior or Certified level, your dog would run by itself.

I’ve ended up with Beretta. I think Stevens, Franchi , mossberg, weatherby may be ones to look at in that price range.

I own a CZ Southpaw. First o/u. Don’t recall the action’s tightness when I bought it but it’s fine now. I think most guns will loosen some with use. Started discharging both barrels with 1 trigger pull. Sent it back to CZ and they fixed it. This was several years ago. Today it seems much...

I have both guns in 12 gauge. Main difference is the laser engraving. The III is a game scene and the I is a floral pattern. I prefer the 28 inch barrel. It is possible to get a brand new wood set fitted too. And the newer ultraleggaro is very light in 12 gauge. It’s great for walk up...

Sorry to hear about your loss. Nothing removes that pain, but a new puppy and time surely helps soften it.

I like Wells Lamont deerskin gloves. Not to expensive and provide me with enough dexterity to use my over and under without issue. I wear them regardless of the weather.

Some things to consider are how far away the marks are, how heavy the cover is and which way the wind is blowing. Also, where is the mark being thrown from and how do you get the dog’s attention to look that way? Further is harder, heavy cover is harder, being up wind of the mark is harder...

KC at just under 8 weeks. I have high hopes for my newest hunting buddy!

I think a person could probably learn to shoot any gun so long as they figure out how to hold it in order to hit what they are aiming at.

Looking forward to spring and summer fishing, fall doves then back on the roosters!

There are a couple of nice PL pups available in Concordia KS if you want to stay the course!
