OK, I decided to make this one easier to try to encourage more participation.

The March, 2015 photo contest theme is "GUNS."

Post any photo with a firearm, multiple firearms, or shooting firearms as the subject or part of the subject of the photo. As long as it meets that simple criteria, pretty much anything goes.

Please keep in mind both when posting and voting on a photo that THE OBJECT OF THE CONTEST IS NOT WHO HAS THE COOLEST OR NICEST GUN(S), BUT INSTEAD, WHO CAN COMPOSE THE BEST PHOTO WITH SOMETHING RELATED TO GUN(S) AS THE SUBJECT. This is a photo contest, not a "best gun" contest. That being said, by all means, good gun porn is highly encouraged; just make sure composing a great photo is the main goal, not showing off your toys.

Remember to read the Photo Contest Rules: 
http://www.opticstalk.com/photo-contest-rules_topic39547.html

Specifically, the photo must be taken by you and must be taken sometime during the month of March, 2015.

I have an idea for this, but I'm not sure if I can pull it off, but I'm going to try.

Add in something from SWFA and it could also be entered in the SWFA contest as well.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

Oldie, but a goodie.

This was my grandfather's Ithaca Mod. 37 20 gauge Pump Action Shotgun.
My dad taught me how to shoot clays with it growing up and then when I was able to purchase my own, well...I bought a Remington. but this was one of my favorites.

Sorry Ted But Skylar's shot brings up hunts from the old days. Along with stories that need to be told. All shades of brown except the green call in the center.

Thanks! That's the Galco braided "Cobra" sling I recommended when you were asking for sling suggestions for your Champlin.

Yes, Sky, it's a Dakota Model 10 in .260.

That is the sling I got for my Winchester 1885 when I was looking at it for the Champlin.  Just did not seem to go with the Champlin as well. 

It looks great on the Dakota...

I also love those Dakota 10's. Unfortunately, they are out of my comfort zone price-wise. Guess I'm relegated to #1's and 1885's. LOL. Great pics so far.

Well since I've still got today, I hope to finally have a photo in by this evening. May not be a winner, but I think it will be interesting.
