Once fired an Ithaca Roadblocker. 10 Gauge. I never did that again! LOL! If you want to know what it feels like to be a wine cork and get “corkscrewed” fire all 3 rounds rapid fire....
As a 10 year old kid I shot my neighbors .10 gauge shotgun once. His son and none of the other neighborhood kids would shoot it. I agreed if he would brace my should and stand behind me and he did. It kicked like an sob, but I hit my target!
