    Hi, my name is Butch. I'm 69 years old and live in S. Jersey. I recently joined a new gun club
    for my handguns. The 2nd Tuesday of every month they have trap shooting that goes into
    the night and they have plenty of flood lights. My son shoots trap so I took him as a guest
    to shoot. I gotta tell ya. It was addicting. I went out the next day and ordered me a Browning
    Maxus Upland with the nickel receiver. It's a sweet looking gun and was quite surprised to see
    how light it was. The gun comes in a real nice Browning case. This is my first shotgun and am
    anxious to try it out. I bought the gun at a sporting shop in South Dakota and no one came close
    to their price. So I'm glad I found this site and can read about Brownings.

    Hello and welcome!

    A friend of mine has a Maxus, I’ve shot it and like it. I’d get one too but I’m addicted to Auto-5’s. They’re the 1911 of shotguns.

    Hey Rudolph, I see that looks like a DC-3 as your photo. How are you tied into that?

    I decided to I wanted to be an airline pilot after reading Fate is the Hunter. That book also made me want to fly the DC3, and I was fortunate to get hired by Provincetown Boston Airline, which had a fleet of 12. Flying them around Cape Cod was the biggest adventure of my life.

    I see that you worked the Atlantic City tower. Do you fly also?

    I am not sure now whether to be depressed or ecstatic with my image choice. We are who we draw. Least he didn't give up

    Wow that was all a big cluster. I hope that works. Not sure what happened but when you hit reply make sure you are typing your reply outside the quote box.

    Cool. If you worked New York Center, we’ve probably talked a time or two. Not while I was in a -3, however.
