    I have one of those Norinco copies of the BRNO, even uses the same mags, and love it also. Bit of a crap suppressor but with subs it doesnt matter too much.

    Used it on possums a bit. Rabbits a few times, plinking lots.

    You did mention it to me.

    I think I would be in heavan if it were so for me and I could attend it as often as I felt like.

    At $7-8 per 25 shells, shotguning is relatively cheap.

    Enjoy the new "investment".

    Learn lots and come and teach me.

    I learnt that one just after the one where you make sure the butt is actully touching your shoulder, not a couple of inches away. Oooooooow.

    Closely related is: never fire a full-length Mosin-Nagant rifle in 7.63x54R from the prone position.

    And even with a little round like .30-30, ground the effing Model 94 on the shoulder properly, do not let it slam back into the collar bone...

    I remeber an incident reported in the British gun mags in the 80's 0r 90's.

    Aparently some dick head in one of the scandanavian countries decided he was a real hard b'stard.

    He decided to fire a Lhati 30mm gun from the prone.

    These guns have spades like a 105mm howitzer that are driven into the ground to aid with recoil.

    This brave soul didnt use them.

    He woke up 3 days later with his shouder, ribs and face all busted up.

    Darwin was right.

    I've always wondered if it was considered poor etiquette to bring a pump action shotty to a skeet range instead of an over & under or semi-auto.

    No one ever complained at our gunclubs that I'm aware of.

    I dont know the rules myself but from watching a lot of these events I notice that it is predominantly the under over shotguns used.

    I personally havent seen may semi auto or pump actions used.

    I suppose that as long as they ony have two rounds loaded there should be no problem, in fact with that loading they are both at a disadvantage to the UO shotgun.

    Dunno and to be honest I don't care. I don't expect to shoot competitively with it, simply want to learn how to handle it properly. They'll know that ahead of time. If they turn into a pack of snobs I might head on over there with my magpie distress call tape...

    No need to call "pull". The "skeets" volunteer themselves...

    Quardle oodle ardle wardle doo... *BOOM*
