RE: I started working on a new tool for the homestead,what do you think?

in #homestead4 years ago

It is a FUN toy, not as functional as some of the others, BUT it is fun! It did a respectable job of the skeet range too, the barrels are true. Several guys with $5000 shotguns asked to shoot it....

When I was patterning it at 25 yards, the target had a significant number of burned holes through (and buried in the backer board.

Do you have 1000 yard solutions for a 20 Ga in your computer? Almost 3 AM here, I'm giving it up, LOL!

Yeah, I bet you'd get some attention firing that beast at the range for sure. Remind me never to get shot with it.

I don't have any for 20Ga, sorry.

They were amazed that it did so well! One guy wantdd to buy it....

Are you that bad a shot? You're riding shotgun, remember.

Slim pickings on that ballistic computer...no shotguns? I don't know, LOL!

I can shoot, have no fear.

Never doubted that, i was just saying that if you have the shotgun; you shouldn't have to worry abouf being shot by it....

I'm better with a rifle and handgun to be honest..I did some sporting clays a while back, I did a post on it. Was a lot of fun, more exciting than simple trap shooting. My shotgun is a pretty cheap thing I use as a back up when I go pig shooting. It cost me $950 back about 20 years ago and is made by Fausti. Cheap, but does the job.

I don't spend much on shotguns, not my favorite firearm, but I am modifying a three round tube feed into a 10 round magazine, machined from a solid aluminum block. The spring is a problem, because the ammunition is Heavy; and the lift distance is long!

This 20 gauge I found at a swap meet for $50. No one knew how to use it...the guy on the skeet range offered me $1000 for it!

50 bucks exchanged for 1000 seems like a pretty good return. It sounds like you didn't sell it though. That magazine project would be a good post for The Pew community as it starts to come together.
