I know, I know. I said I was done talking about Dick and his itchy trigger finger. But one more thing and I’ll quit. This came to me when I heard he would “break his silence” by giving an exclusive interview to Fox. Yeah, I can’t wait for that 😉

Wanna know what I wanna see?

I wanna see somebody with a Perazzi (not cheap, but you know Dick – only shoot with the best) fire at a target at 30 yards with some birdshot.

And I wanna know if it makes this tight of a pattern (look on the right side for a diagram). That’s pretty impressive for ninety feet away, isn’t it?

(4) distant range: birdshot from any gauge weapon except .410 produces a 3/4 to 1 in. round entrance at ranges from contact to 2ft.; a 7/8 to 1 1/4 in. entrance with scalloped margins by 3 ft.; a 1 to 1 3/4 in. entrance with scalloped margins and satellite pellet holes by 4 ft.; a definite cuff of satellite pellets by 6 to 7 ft.; beyond 10 ft. there is great variations in pellet pattern size depending upon ammunition type choke, the actual weapon and range (published formulae are unreliable); measurements of the pellet pattern should ignore “fliers”. For buckshot at 3 ft a hole with scalloped margins, at 4 ft a few satellite pellet holes appear by, 9 ft there are generally individual pellet holes.

Nice gun you got there. (walks away, singing “Cheney’s got a gun..”)
