When I used to shoot a lot of skeet tournaments, I was shooting with a guy that had a Perazzi shotgun, which is an expensive weapon. I told him that it was a beautiful gun, but I used my Remington 3200 to hunt with as well as shoot in the tournaments. He told me that he used his Perazzi in the duck blind when duck hunting, and that if it was too nice to use in the blind, it wasn't worth having. That kinda sums up the way I feel about my poppers, so I use them all the time. I just enjoy making them, and fishing them. PM me an address and I'll send ya a couple, but only if you promise to fish them!!!! LOL
