    A5 20ga

    Hi George, Thanks for the update on the 20 ga. I'd like to mount/handle the new 20 ga. and serious about the gun. Have an issue with the new 16ga - only 2 3/4 shells, hence a smaller opening and harder for me to load; but I prefer the 16 stock configuration, more distance behind the trigger...

    I just looked at their web site - saw none. Lots of Sweet 16's, however.

    WTB -- SKB 385 or 485 or Browning Gold or Silver Hunter 20g

    Apparently the Gold Hunter is one of the lowest recoil guns ever made - gas operated and a bit on the heavy side at 8#...

    Changes to A400 Explor for old and cold hands

    This is timely...was in SD 10 day's ago in very frigid temps. I swore several times at the puny safety, on the Benelli M2 and vowed to replace it asap. However, I'm not certain what would fit and who would install. Need to find a gunsmith as mine moved to OK.

    Vest suggestions

    My right shoulder has been surgically altered, to about 40% wide. Therefore I need a plain fabric strap (Gamehide) ,as wide as possible. Any strap affair slides off what's left of my shoulder. I do insert a shoulder pad to keep it in place, which helps.

    Doesn't "swamp collie" reinforce the Lab folks opinion? Not a very respectful name/identity...

    Geezer Hunt

    Sort of an odd name for a Golden, isn't it? Kind of a negative ring...

    I believe the "Puppy program" is for dogs at least 6 mo's of age. The trainer I use has pigeons on a long, light- weight string, but with wings cut. No discipline, just fun and birds for two weeks...and the introduce the gun. Basically they are ready to hunt; mine was in SD at that age and...

    Guess I would echo Alaska Swamp Collie's remarks - let the dog get enthused and have fun with the live birds. Whether pointers or flushers isn't the process the same...getting them excited about birds.

    In your text you refer to "gun conditioning" with a four-month dog. Assume you meant intro to the gun. My suggestion: have a professional deal with this training aspect. The introduction is done in careful steps when the dog is ready. Doesn't sound like this dog is ready! Good Luck!
