    Double barrel shotgun

    Yep I have been and one of mine really patterns great out to about 35 yards. Be working on others next few weeks. Have 1/4" and plenty of thin overshot cards. Also made a punch and experimenting with card board best seems to be free boxes you can get at post office to ship stuff. Thanks
