For an overall shotgun I would go with a pump Benelli Nova. I got one in Sept. and it is great. I've used it on quail, dove, and rabbits. Hopefully sometime I'll get to use it on ducks. It was $300 synthetic black stock. It comes w/3 choke tubes and can handle up to a 3 1/2" shell. For the quality and price I couldn't resist it. If you are left-handed be warned the safty can be a hassel. It is in front of the trigger guard instead of a Remington which is behind. I put the nove beside the strip down 870 (Remington) and I would be almost embarrased to be seen w/the plain 870 plus it was more money too. My dad had an 870 Wingmaster 12ga. (high gloss barrel and stock)and had had it for over 25years used it every year put through tons of shells and has never had a problem still looks almost new too. You can't go wrong with what you are looking for. \n\nGood Luck....\n\nDon

It sounds like you guys are very set. While guns to not make a great team, experience does. If you guys are decent, then the guns will only help you reach full potential. All the guns mentioned are very solid. The wrath may not be as good as the others, but it is good for starting out. A coach is definately a must these days. Anyone who can help that has vast experience is great. They can show you how to play bunkers, what to look for, and even details like how to properly hold your gun. \n\nI would recommend a halo on all of the guns mentioned. This will give you the most from those markers. As a former matrix tech, i can tell you that the dm6 is very simple and very smooth shooting. The Shocker and Ion are similar and offer the same type of shot pattern with a slightly different feel. I cannot speak for the wrath. \n\n5 man is a great way to go. This is a VERY popular format nowadays, specially with the PSP. You can play whatever you want (3 or 5 man) and have fun.

Ladysmith .38 (Smith & Wesson)\n\nRevolver, easy to load and operate. No exposed hammer to get caught on clothing or in purse.\n\nOh, not much of a recoil either.

Well I'm 99.9% certain the Winchester 1200 isn't a Double Barrel gun, I seem to  recall it was a pump action shotgun. But $250 for one in new condition isn't bad

Bound's hubby for here:\n\nYou did not mention if your beginner is looking at bicycle biathalon or ski biathalon, but I would suggest a lighter bolt action, clip fed rifle with micrometer target sights, such as the old Mossberg 340B. Regrettably, that little Mossberg has not been made in years ... in its place, I would suggest a Remington 504 or 504T ... which you would add metallic micrometer sights to. (See link below).\n\nAnschutz makes a biathalon rifle, but I would suspect it is a bit more expensive than the Remington, and the Remington is more versatile than an Anschutz specialty rifle! (see link).\n\nGood luck!

I've been making and redesigning them since I was about 15 (I'm 27 now) and they are a blast. They have the ability to shoot 100-200 yards if done good and can cost from $25 for a basic one to over $100 if you want to go exotic. I can tell you as a police officer, they are NOT illegal, and are not classified as firearms, but you might want to check your local laws to make sure they don't have an local laws against such things

I rock the Stiffi on my Ion and my featherlight viking.  All american barrels are garbage, trust me, I was a SP tech and they are just like any other.  The stiffi is SUPER LIGHT and accurate, and you can shoot through any break you have.

I'm not impressed with the .223 round. No recoil, all-plastic can't beat a bad guy with it if you need to. When I'm firing my weapon I disassociate from my emotions, but my Peacemaker does have a little kick, had a Glock .40 kicked worse than my .45 so I sold it. My 1911 I can hit just about anything

Ihavea great anschutz mod.1451 that shoots great, but if you want something little cheaper check out CMP for a kimber mod. 82 it's a great gun and it's only $600. They also have other great quality rifles for good  prices.

Yes.\n\nEmail not going through.\n\n    gizz_97@yahoo.com\n\nTechnical details of permanent failure:\nPERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 12): 554 delivery error: dd This user doesn't have a yahoo.com account (gizz_97@yahoo.com) [0] - mta254.mail.re2.yahoo.com\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/Henry_Arms_Co_shotgun\n Answer\n\nHenry Arms Co. was a name used on shotguns distributed by H&D Folsom c. 1900. It may have been manufactured by Crescent Firearms, Meriden, CT, or it may have been imported from a Belgian maker. No relation to the famous Henry Repeating Rifles which were the forerunners of the Winchester lever actions. Value is something less than $200 unless it is in like-new condition.\n\nAnswer\n\nLyle - A single shot would bring less than $79. That's what a new utility single shot sells for. Even though yours may be old, there is no collector interest.\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/How_old_is_a_Henry_Arms_double_barrel_hammer_shotgun_with_the_words_twist_finish_Belgium_on_the_barrel_and_what_is_it_worth\nHow old is a Henry Arms double barrel hammer shotgun with the words twist finish Belgium on the barrel and what is it worth?\nBelgian Double Barrel Shotgun\nThis gun was manufactured by Anciens Etablissments Pieper, Leige, Belgium, c. 1905-1914. It should not be fired unless it is checked and approved by a competent gunsmith, so it's primary value will be as a mantle decoration - $150-$250.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.gabelguns.com/QuestionsAndAnswers/ViewQuestion.asp?QuestionNumber=1011\n\nQuestion:\n\nRon; This is in reference to Q#1006. I appreciate your reference to Q#388, but I'm afraid it left me more confused. You made reference to the Folsom Arms Co. I looked that up in a book entitled "The Shotgun Book" by Jack O'Conner. It states that shotguns with the name W. Richards on them were cheap replicas mass produced by the tens of thousands by the Crescent Firearms Co. of Norwich, Connecticut, and are, in fact, not guns made by Westley Richards. Yet your answer to Q#388 indicated that an oval with the initials E over LG indicated the shotgun was manufactured in Belgium. My brother's shotgun has that mark. Do you know if the information in the O'Conner book is accurate? Is it possible that the mass-produced versions were also stamped with the initials E over LG? Or were there actually Westley Richards guns that simply said W. Richards, and did not print out his entire name? Either way, should we, can we, assume this shotgun is from the late 1800's or early 1900's? Or is that not possible to deduce from the information given? Thanks for your time, Esther Bozeman\n\nAnswer:\n\nEsther: Easy to see why you might be a bit confused. The Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich Conn. were makers of single and double barrel shotguns. The original Crescent guns, made in Conn., were sold until about 1895 after which the Crescent made guns were retailed under the brand name American Gun Company. The H&D Folsom Arms Company secured control of the Crescent Company about 1893 and retained control of the Crescent Company until 1932. W. Richards was a house brand name used on Belgium made shotguns that were distributed by the H&D Folsom Arms Company. The Folsom began importing these shotguns in 1890, just prior to gaining control of the Crescent Fire Arms Company. The ELG proof mark is the standard proof mark for guns made in Belgium. So your brothers gun was made in Belgium, sold through H&D Folsom Arms Co. in New Yory around the turn of the century, when the Folsom Company was in control of the Crescent company. Still confused??\n\n\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_is_information_on_the_Folsom_Arms_Co\n\nH&D Folsom was a large sporting goods retailer and distributor in New York City. They didn't manufacture any firearms, but from 1893 to 1930 they owned Crescent Firearms in Norwich, Ct. They also bought guns from other arms makers, especially Belgian manufacturers. Haven't ran across a W Richardson,

Great cartridge. Basically a souped up 44 special (longer case). While there are more powerful calibers available commercially, the 44 mag is an excellant handgun and rifle cartridge. I use if for deer hunting. Its effective range in a rifle is about 125 yards. In handguns, the 240 gr hollowpoint factory load is 1350fps with almost a thousand pounds of muzzle energy. Tell me that wont stop an advancing attacker.\n\nThe 454 Casull was introduced shortly after the 44 Remington Magnum in the mid to late 50's. The 475 Linebaugh is a wonderful little rig and briefly enjoyed the role as "most powerful handgun" status for a little while. Several other wildcat cartridges have come along and the big daddy of them all now is the Smith and Wesson 500.\n\nAll in all I'll keep my 44's for hunting and home defense.

I had one and it was nothing special other than the fact that it was expensive and looked nice. Other than that really just an average gun. Kind of a novelty gun like its big brother. The best guns I've used recently are the XD line from springfield armory, I would pick one of those up and quite a few others before I bought a baby eagle

Hello Mrpeppy\n\nI have never used them myself so cant give you first hand info on them. I think an answer befor mine from ksingh gives you some quality info.\n\nHowever I have seen them and they are a classy set of clubs, sort of resemble a cross between Calloway and Hogan Apex.\n\nI particularly like the hybrids that come with them, thats a bonus. Hybrids instead of long irons are the way to go .\n\nIf you are able to get them under 300 dollars it would be a good deal.\nGood luck and happy golfing.\n\nLeon

I personally like the new DeMarini Venom...the weight on it is 26 oz but the length is only 32 in\n\nwe use one and the batspeed is incredible. the ball comes off the bat sounding almost muted which is what you want. if a bat "dings" when u hit with it, chances are you have got an internal crack.\n\nTry the venom..Its somewhat expensive but definitely worth the price!!

I got my grandson a New England in 7mm 08 and he loves it.\nHe kill his first deer last year, a doe. A very good shooting gun.
