steve_b_wales Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 What shotgun did you first own? Back in 1973 mine was a single barrel Baikal. I bought the gun, a box of cartridges, gun sleeve and a suede cartridge belt for £20 off a mate. I still have the belt now, in good condition.

the hitman Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 My first gun was a Fabarm 27in barrel skeet gun , with open chokes . It was my dads gun and he though it would suit me for decoying. It was excellent over decoys , using winchester trap100 shells , but i could'nt hit anything consistantly at distance. I still have it and dont think i will ever part with it , it has killed to many pigeons . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer stalker Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 to start off with i had a kestral 20bore but after 6weeks and hundreds of cartridges later i changed to a AYA 25 and i've still got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 My first shotgun was an old double trigger Baikal O/U. It had 3/4 and full choked barrels, so was more suitable for light aircraft than pigeons. 'Clean' kills though when I managed to hit the birds :blink: ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I still have my first shotgun: an SKB Mod 500 O/U in 20-bore. It must be at least 25 years' old now, as I have had it for 15 years. I'm never going to part with it - too many memories attached to that little gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 A folding single barrel BSA 12 bore. My Dad, my brother and myself used to hide in a ditch under a sitty tree with half a dozen decoys out on a rape field, taking turns to shoot the gun, happy days!!! We've still got the gun and I occasionally take it out for a walk around for old times sake. We had air rifles before that, the first was a BSA meteor, shot quite a few rats with that around the farm buildings, again taking turns to shoot.

njc110381 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 My first gun was my Beretta Silver Pigeon. A bit posh for a first gun but I started late enough to be able to afford it. I wish I could have started younger with a battered old thing really, I'd have appreciated what I have now more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a year ago - now I have gone back to S/S's and shot well. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
