« on: January 14, 2012, 02:19:25 PM »
Always be sure their is nothing in your Barrel, mine was clean,but a wad most have gotten stuck. Had to borrow another gun later, finally had some big honkers come in. One was 9lb. the other was 12 lb.

Sweet Jesus! What shells were you using!

Glad to hear you are okay, and that you were able to get some geese.

WOW glad you are o.k, I would bet you are right. I have seen a couple other shotguns do just like yours. Most of the time it's because a wad got stuck behind or in the choke. You are lucky and I am glad you are o.k

Be thankful that it was at the end and not closer to the face.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
