[skeet]

Along with the guns y'all have mentioned..most every place had an ol cat and rat gun in the granary. Usually loaded to shoot the rats that the old farms almost always had. It was our job to kill them with the old cat and rat guns..usually with either a short or shot cartridges. Usually had a box of ammo on one of the 2by whatever wall bracing. Same guns were quite often used to dispatch hogs on hog killin days. I bought an old Iver Johnson 410 skeeter at a farm auction one time too. old fellow told me it was used to help feed the family for many years. Rabbits skwerl and quail..
