It looks great. Did you make your own grip forms or buy one?


Made everything myself Tim.

Here. check it out.

This is a good, informative thread. You may want to make a sticky-ed thread for 'FAQ/How-To Items of Interest' or some such name, and put links to that grip thread in there along with other useful and informative thread links. I did that on the forum I moderate and it keeps that kind of stuff where everyone can access it easily without having to do a search. The one I made now has over 30 links in it.

That's a good idea Marshal. I think I'll do that.

Fun vids, Shotgun.  Thanks for posting.  That spot looks like one of several hundred good shooting locations in Riverside County.

Range Boss -- It may be the camera angle, but the young lady seems to have a rather disconcerting habit of pointing the gun at her feet when thumbing back the hammer.  Otherwise, good form.  Good vid.

OP good luck finding "trailboss"

Yep If you are good w/ tools. Taylors has 1870 open sights they fit into place.  Changed the point of impact
I originally going to make one as posted on this site. But for $4.00 plus shipping.

You're absolutely right sprat, Trailboss is hard to come by.

G Dog, you're right too. I had to coach her several times about cocking the gun while pointing it downrange.

I just bought a 1lb container of Trailboss
It came from a estate sale. The container seemed old low price sticker
So I loaded10 rounds and hit the range
All rounds fired
I'm do not want to say how muck I paid for it,
