    New Life for an Old Shotgun

    Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I - It hates me!

    Last year I joined a trap league. I used a Browning BT99 that my dad had given my youngest son when he passed away in 2012. I enjoyed the league and improved to the point where 23/25 was common. I saved up for an O/U and handled and even shot a round or two with a Beretta and Browning O/U...
