The Texas Crow Patrol is always interested in upgrading our effectiveness afield.Towards that end, as the titular leader, I am always recruiting potential new members that meet our high standards.A lot of that recruiting takes place in a restaurant that uses an owl mascot, since we are primarily bird hunters.We have enough manly men in the current TCP organization.
This weekend we walked around a local Cabela’s and happened to find this little lady that just might uphold the shotgun efficacy of the other members of TCP proper.When I offered her a position in our merry band, she was nice enough to award me with some old medals she had laying around!
Agreed... She will be at SHOT in January and I hope to get the opportunity to ask her about that stock fitting at that time. I hope some of my fellow CrowBusters will also be in attendance. It was fun meeting Skip and Minnesota John at previous SHOT Shows.
Back to Kim Rhode and her Olympic triumphs. She explained to us at length about her choice of shotgun here at this Cabela's Allen, TX autograph signing session. Simply, she and most of her world class competitors use Perazzi because their reliablity is superior to all others. A few choose Beretta, but virtually no one uses Krieghoff in these Olympic events because she said they are more complicated to repair, during the 3 minutes given for gun failures, and they have a reputation for doubling. The K-80 might be "king" at other shooting competitions, but not in these events.
In training she fires from 500 to 1000 shells per day and has worn out the hinges on some of her Perazzi's. Isn't that awesome!
Just how I like them "low and slow"
