I have been thinking about adding a 16 gauge to the arsenal for some time. Have not been able to find anything local that I can put my hands on. Have found a Citori Lightning and a Citori Heritage online. Anybody knowledgable enough with the two guns to give me any details on th differences...

Both guns would fail to cycle properly approximately 1-2 times per box of shells. As I remember the guns would successfully eject the fired shell but fail to load the new shell. I spoke with Cole's before and after the guns were "repaired". The person I spoke with indicated that some of the...

I purchased two 400explor's a couple of years ago. Experienced the same problem as you with both guns. Sent both guns to Coles. Guns perform better but still fail to cycle from time to time. I listened to suggestions that the guns were not maintained properly and/or we were using cheap ammo...

I have trained labs for years with e-collars. Most of these have been pups and were introduced to the e-collar at an early age. However, I have had experience with older dogs as well. I see absolutely no reason that you could/should not consider using an e-collar. Training older dogs can be...

Orvis shell is spendy but it is a great shell. I use one for dog training and hunting. I tried a couple of less expensive shells and just was not satisfied.

I have used the Stone Creek chaps for hunting and dog training for the last couple of years. Absolutely no complaints. Stone Creek Hounds Hunting And Pet Supplies
