I watched him at DU Great Outdoors shoot 9. It is very impressive. His website is www.tomknapp.net

I used ta could do 3 with a pump gun, thought I was good, never could get 4 unless it didn't break when it hit the ground.  Thats why I never bough an auto loader, I eat up to many shells trying ta do better.  There was some one, can't remember who back in the 50's and 60's could do 6 or 7 with a Model 12 Winchester, the old model with out the disconector. ;D

To put it in perspective, Ed McGivern used to routinely break five.




Of course he was using a revolver.  ;D

Yep, ol Tom was using an extended mag tube. But that Benelli cycles real fast. That is without a doubt the fastest semi-auto shotgun made. It's way faster than my Browning Auto-5. :(

The guy in the foreground its pouring water in the big pot.  The guys with the big pole seem to be usin' it to remove another big kettle.  Try this link.
