My first shotgun was an H&R Topper .410 single shot got it in the fifth grade (1975) still have it, only mod is there is a BB glued at the end of the barrel where the bead sight used to be. Took it squirrel huntin last season killed 3 with it!
New England Firearms ,full choke 12 ga single shot ,My 11th bday, you would think after 32 yrs the gun wouldnt seem to kick like a mule ,nope, I think my dad may have been a lil bit of a sadist
Ithaca by SKB model 100, 20ga SXS back in 1967 for $149.00 from Emroe's Sporting Goods. I was 13 years old. I have harvested truck loads of rabbits & quail and a few pheasants and ducks. I still own it and hunt with it. Fastest pointing gun I've ever owned.
Bay City 16 Ga.break action,27" barrel, modified choke. Inherited from my Grandfather who passed away in 1960.
PS: Sold it at a garage sale in Elkhart,IN when we were moving to South Carolina in November of 1996. I really do miss that gun, and alcohol was definitely a factor!!
