It all started when I got married...

It all started when I got married! I have never really been a gun guy before, not that I did not have one. I grew up with guns and shooting. The annual hunting trip to fish lake was a real treat. Some of my best memories were made deer hunting. Like the Cinnamon rolls grandma would send with us. we had to really try hard to keep them from all being gone by the first day. It was grandma way of looking out for us guys while we were away from her kitchen. Grandpa would usually do the cooking, including that all important first morning breakfast before we set off on a hike in the dark to get to "our" spot to hunt at sunrise that morning.

Any way, I wanted to have a hobby I could do as a married man. Guns seem to provide me with the hobby/obsession I needed. since chasing girls was now out. through those first few years I listened to popular opinion about guns. Read all the latest tests and advertisements. I read the books on how to trap shoot etc. I joined a club and started to shoot. I really was amazed at the selection of guns. I was like a kid in a candy store. I fell in love with guns! 

I wondered about over/under shotguns, why they seemed to be prevalent. I liked the automatics for their low recoil. hated pumps, they seemed so..ancient in the workings. I started my journey of buying then selling MANY guns, I had found my new girls to chase. 

Through this blog I want to tell you what I have found out and share some of what I found to be not so common, common sense about shotguns.
