[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2904446, member: 118816"] I am old, so I have had several different shotguns over the years. My first shotgun, which not only brings back a lot of memories, and I still have to this day is a Stevens model 87A 20 ga with a modified choke that my Dad gave me when I was 12 years old. After several hunts with him and some uncles, mostly for bunnies and pheasants, them teaching me both how to shoot a shotgun as well as move through the woods and fields and hunt alone or in groups I was allowed to go out and hunt on my own, pretty much to my Mother's chagrin. (Girls don't do things like that). As I look back, now as a seasoned Hunter Safety Instructor I realize that they all were all very safety conscious and ethical hunters. They taught me well. I actually still have that shotgun, although it is not in shoot-able condition, the box magazine fell apart then the stock cracked out at the recoil lug. Anyway it holds a spot near and dear to my heart. As for my favorite it has to be my current shotgun, a Remington 11/87 Premier in 12 ga 3 inch mag. I am primarily a rifle and pistol person and only a fair to middling shotgun person, that is after getting this shotgun. Prior to that the shotguns I had and I did not see eye to eye and I considered myself a very poor shotgun shooter. After the 11-87 my shooting improved tremendously to the point where these days, Turkeys, Geese and Trap Birds tremor in their boots (well if they had boots) when I head out into the woods and fields. I have even managed to shoot a few straight 25's during Trap. It's not fancy, mostly has an extra full choke in it and we get along well. I guess that makes it my favorite. :) [/QUOTE]
