Clays and rabbits here.
It might not be potentially as good as an o/u or a self-loader for clays, and I take your point about breaking the rhythm when you rack the slide, but it's such fun!
The only comments 'Enry the 'iggins has attracted at the local clay shoot have been of the, "that's in good nick - how old is it?" variety.
Plus clearing a stand that folks with all the right gear are struggling with has a similar grin-factor to doing it with the traditional 'Baikal held together with baler twine'
More a missing comma, I think:Referring to Bigbob's comment about taxes on whisky
"The whisky exports I'll give you[COMMA], people do love a Scotch." 😉
In contrast, I recently stayed at a small hotel in Paris, doing the touristy thing with The Management - every morning, the hotel staff insisted we take something from the breakfast bar for our lunch, and would then wrap it for us!
