    I almost cried

    Went out hunting Saturday morning and carried my relatively new Beretta a300 which I really like. Didn't have any luck.

    Went to do chores which included grocery shopping. Unloading the truck and the final trip was 2 gallons of water.

    Then I felt it. My back gave out. Oh crap!

    Ended up in bed with my wife tending to me. Then she saw my shotgun leaning against the wall next to the stairs. She asked about if it was locked and I asked her to put it upstairs and lock the door up there.

    She came downstairs and said it was really heavy and I should buy a lighter shotgun.

    I almost cried!

      Maybe get yourself one of those newfangled indoor water faucets (with one of those fancy-smanchy water filters) ...


      and only shooting the skinny deer.


      Have you guys ever noticed that whenever people don't handle guns much they almost always say
      "it's heavy".

        I almost cried because she told me to buy a gun.

        It'll be better over the next week or so.

            After 20 years of marriage I am somewhat qualified to interpret her statement for you. What she MEANT was you should SELL that Heavy/ Expensive shotgun & buy a Cheaper/ lighter one, then use the extra $$$ to buy her something pretty.

            Remember, to women: Heavy= Expensive. It all goes back to the ol' Diamonds & Gold thing.

                That's a good point. Hadn't considered that. I'm not terribly attached to the a300 but would prefer to keep it.

                I'm exploring the Benelli ultralight and Frianchi Affinity.

                  Sorry, I should have been more clear.

                  Sad news that you won't be able to go get a new gun until your back improves.

                      My dad has a Benelli Ethos and that is one sweet shotgun. It is very light but the recoil reduction stock takes the bite out the 12ga.

                        No worries. I've been on pain meds for a few days so what I think I type may not be what I actually type.

                          i hope you get to feeling better soon. i suggest that you follow your wife's advice when you're feeling better and purchase a lighter shotgun.

                              I picked up two pistols last year at the SAR gun show, my wife asked what i was going to do with my old carry gun as i blabed something about needing a new carry gun to justify the purchase. she wasn't amused when i laughed and put it in the safe. the SAR show is in two weeks and i haven't touched that old SR9 since, that woman is going to smack me some day.
