CARRYING NEEDLESS 
WEIGHT AFIELD 
Dear Forest and Stream: 
A merican sportsmen, it is my pleas- 
ure to chronicle, are fast in their 
strides as regards their adoption of the 
smaller gauges in shotguns for field and 
upland shooting. 
Comfort in a shooting sense has been 
very much disregarded in the past, not 
in respect to heat and cold, but in the 
unseemly weights in firearms our sports- 
men persist in clinging to. It is interest- 
ing to reason out why so many sports- 
men have clung to the traditions handed 
down by our sturdy forefathers. I, my- 
self, have in bygone years carried a nine- 
pound double-barreled gun all day in the 
field, wearying my arms to their utmost, 
and it wasn’t until but a few years back 
that I saw something which gave me a 
new perspective and much comfort and 
satisfaction in the field. Many of us are 
blind to things which would enhance our 
pleasure afield and I sincerely trust my 
readers will be honest with themselves 
in considering my exposition of facts 
and not let tradition blind them against 
their comfort and interests. 
It was about eighteen years ago that 
I saw an extremely long shot made with 
a sixteen-gauge gun. Slight interest ’ 
made me examine the bird my friend had 
killed and I distinctly recall that enough 
pellets of shot entered the bird to elim- 
inate any argument of a chance shot 
being a factor in the performance. The 
matter as far as I was concerned ended 
there, but as I write now I am extremely 
sorry that my subsequent observations 
and tests occurred fifteen years after the 
incident referred to above. 
The year that I sat up and really took 
notice was about 1919. One day in the 
autumn of that year a young man ac- 
companied me on a duck hunt. He was 
shooting an L. C. Smith sixteen-gauge 
double gun. The lad was a very good 
shot, but what was annoying to me was 
the way he drew down long-range hits 
with his small-gauge gun. Another day, 
he did splendid work with a twenty on ; 
ducks, and eventually I saw him perform 
on pheasants with both of his small- . 
gauge weapons. |i 
One day in particular stands out in my I- 
memory as the lad put his little twenty- I 
gauge together at the edge of a nice patch 
of pheasant ground. The other “boys” 
of our party bantered the youngster be- > 
cause of the gun he elected to shoot with, 
but inwardly I felt that if given a chance 
the boy would prove up. 
Two of the boy’s tormentors were with 
him when a big cock pheasant sprang 
up some distance away. The twelve- ! 
gauge boys w’oidd not take a chance for 
some reason or other, distance, I pre- 
sume, but that little twenty barked once 
and the pheasant tumbled to the ground 
very dead. It was no chance shot either. 
Within three days I was in possesison of 
a sixteen and a twenty, and truly I 
have had new life injected into my ex- 
cursions afield. Speedier handling makes 
for much nearer hits and this in my opin- 
ion amply makes up for the lessened 
charge of shot and powder. At the end 
of a day a man has only walking fatigue
