I'd rather light my hair on fire and put it out with a hammer.

20 Gauge with 28 barrels. Still a light weight gun even with 28" plus the longer tubes will help keep your gun swinging on crossing shots. I bought my 20 gauge CZ Canvasback with 28" barrels as kind of a specialty, early season gun. Once I found Federal Prairie Storm this gun now covers all my hunti...

Congrats. Glad you had fun and met some good people, thats what all this trialing stuff is about.

I have had some nice 12 gauge O/U and had always wanted a 20 gauge. I dint want to spend the money that it would take to get a Browning or a Beretta. Finally settled on a Canvasback and figured it would be a niche type gun, just used occasionally. It has become my go to gun for all my wing shooting ...

As far as "commands" or saying stuff to your dog...do what you feel you gotta do to handle your dog to win the thing. I'd advise not looking at it as commands but rather "helping" the dog - after all, we are the brains of the operation. It's hard to argue that less is likely better when it comes to...

For all upland birds I use a 28" barreled O/U. With screw in chokes and the advances in premium ammunition there isnt anything that a 20 cant do. The 28" barrels give better balance and a little more out front weight to help the swing. Waterfowling I use a 28" semi-auto 12 gauge. The heavy gun isnt ...

With my history of GSPs and GWP I have learned that I do better with females. To me they mature faster and figure out things quicker. I like the smaller size, lighter to handle, take up less space, use smaller crates, etc. You do have the down side of them coming into season once or twice a year. Bo...

Best to be in the fall. Granted most dogs at Nationals go away with pros and can be south getting ready at winter camp, but there still are some very competitive amateurs that keep and work their dogs themselves. A spring national, especially an early spring one, makes it tough to get a dog from the...

Cali turned 2 back on March 21 this year. With the new job and an impending move I decided to intrust the breaking of her to Tommy Hagan of Crow Creek kennels near Rochester, MN. The idea was to be patient and not rush the process of breaking this young talented dog. Figured 2014 would be the year t...

I understand that it takes more judges but some of us can become judges in order to fill that requirement. Thats a whole different can of worms to open up with that statement. A few years ago when the AKC and their "blue ribbon panel" decided something needed to be done about the hunt test judging ...

Broke ,questionable, if you can get I front of the dog until the bird flushes you might have a chance. It is an AA futurity. You will need a fdsb shooting dog race.

Had to chuckle on this one. My first GSP pulled this one on me once. We had broke him and force fetched him over the winter as a 2 yr old. First event of the year was a walking ft with the retrieve done shooting the first bird on course. Dog had a good stylish find, flushed the bird, gunners shot do...

Do you really believe if you have a gun or two you could defend yourself against a Government that wants your guns. I know there are people on here who think they could. The military has more guns than you do. Don't tell that to the colonists that fought the Revolutionary War against what was one, ...

Well said Ray!!!

Field Trialing is a competitive venue that gets tougher and tougher with each passing year, better dogs and more skilled handlers.

This isnt soccer for 5 year old kids where everyone gets a trophy.

Just like looking at titles on a pedigree, there is more to this equation than just a title. Look at each dog as an individual. Its life history, it's owner(s) history, where and how it achieved the titles, etc. As a big umbrella statement the FC carries more water as by earning the FC that dog has ...

I have hunted with a couple of guys that have used the 28 effectively on pheasants. Two important things I learned from watching them be successful.... 1. Be a good wingshooter 2.

Just picked up a F&L Receiver with a Yagi antenna.

I'm looking for a rugged case for it that I can hang from my saddle. Anyone have any suggestions where I should look? Thanks.

Doug I was wondering if by chance the hosting club may have been confused with what exactly they were dual sanctioned for. I agree with you that it would be beneficial to all if GSP clubs were sanctioning their trials AFTCA also. I think it would be good for everyone if there was more good shortaile...

original mngsp

Out west I think there is a little more crossover between the longtails and the continental breeds so maybe I'm off base here, but here goes. Most GSP Clubs if they chose to dual sanction their trial as an AF FT do so under the umbrella of the National German Shorthaired Pointer Association, or the ...
