4-10 .... FYI
.410 bore, commonly misnamed the .410 gauge, is the
smallest gauge of shotgun shell commonly
available. It has similar base dimensions to the .45 Colt revolver cartridge, though the
.410 is significantly longer, up to 3 inches (76 mm), allowing many single-shot firearms and
some revolvers chambered in that
caliber to fire shot without any modifications.
The .410 is a relative latecomer in shotgun sizes. It appears to have
become popular around 1900, although it was recommended as "suited to the
requirements of naturalists, and for such weapons as walking-stick guns",
presumably for self-defense, in 1892 by W. W. Greener.
The first ammunition was two inches (50.8 mm) long, compared with the modern 2.5
and 3.0-inch (76 mm) sizes.
As the smallest of traditional shotgun sizes, .410 bore guns
throw the least weight of shot, but are very easy to handle. This results in a
very low recoil,
so the .410 is often chosen for young shooters, who might have problems with a
heavier recoiling shotgun.

Had a fun short chat with Alex and Jack last night. Hard to believe Alex is

most of us can comprehend. Here's two photos...... 3 months apart, first of
January and the end of March....

National Golfer's Day
Some avid golfers might suggest that any and every day is Golfer's Day. But
on this day, it's official. The only question is, does this day honor the
golfer, the sport, or the weather? Well, it's a little of each. Golfer's Day is
an opportunity to be thankful that someone invented this addicting, yet relaxing
hobby.
National Sibling's Day (my babies!! Kristen & Brian)
National Sibling Day is a day to appreciate and cherish your brothers and
sisters. Siblings are truly a special blessing that we probably all too often
take for granted. They are often our best friends and supporters through life.
Another reason to celebrate is that not everyone is lucky enough to have
siblings. Their lives are significantly different growing up, and throughout
life
