single shots

[fabsroman]

Most of my hunting as a child was done with single shots. Killed my first dove with a single shot .410 with a hammer on it. Used a 20 ga. single shot to pheasant hunt with, but never killed anything with it. I didn't really start killing much of anything until I graduated to my dad's A-5 and I killed two pheasants in that day. The next year, I got to shoot his o/u and that was the first year I ever killed more than a single dove in a day.

Truthfully, I like shooting doubles and triples on doves, and I also hate having wounded birds get away. Believe it or not, I'm not perfect, and occassionally I wound a bird. Luckily though, I take them close enough that I can get a second and third shot on the same bird if I have to.

No offense to you single shot guys, but the rest of us less than perfect guys need the additional ammo. LOL

I have been thinking about getting a single shot rifle (e.g., T/C or Ruger No. 1), but I just cannot justify spending money on one of them when I also want an AR-15, AR-10 and a Beretta PX4. Maybe, eventually, I will own a single shot rifle, but I doubt I will ever spend money on a single shot shotgun.
