On a recent trip to the Canaan Valley, a good friend and I, along with our setters were hoping to meet the flights of woodcock. Although the 'cock had not arrived in large numbers yet, we did find enough to enjoy a full day of fine dog work and good gunning. The Fox is a 1909 12ga. A grade straight grip with 28" bbls with original cylinder/mod. chokes. She enjoys low pressure 3/4oz. #8 loads and is the perfect piece for this kind of gunning. Heres a link to a 6 sec. video (low quailty)..and a couple of stills.

Steve, very nice. Thanks for taking the time to post. Love those early A's and especially yours with a straight grip with those barrels and chokes. Plenty of memories in that Fox I'm sure.
