The Guns of Flatwater.. While it is impossible to choose...
While it is hard to choose or to compare one to another---Doug's high-dollar Purdeys to Brent XVI's memerising 16g. bolt-action gun to Bruce Day's Damascus-barreled Parker, for example-- what struck your fancy this trip?
I personally liked Bluerock Brimley's Greenwood-restocked fine Perrazzi SC3, though his eye-catching Green-color-stocked 390 is not to be overlooked. Or Bob Egbert's mighty 10 gauge. Or the really light model 21's of Milton and KGB. Or the hammer guns. Or ..
Well, what guns will you remember? It isn't that you want to own one right now --I still like my highly-experienced Superposed, for example, and what would I do with a 10 gauge?-- , but what was memorable to you this year? Other than brent's bolt-action gun, I mean.

For me it was shooting Thinman's Browning Double Automatic converted from 12 to 16 bore. It is a prototype, and it did have a couple of minor glitches-which will be ironed out. I simply couldn't miss with it.
Also, shooting Kirk's 21 was another highlight. That gun loves me- and I it!
I won't say I'm jaded by all the other fine guns and shooters at this event, but I will say that I am proud to know all you fine gentlemen and share a brief time with you and your exqusite firearms.

The joys of shooting a 16 bore are only realized when you do it.
