....... also I had a guy at my club that kept picking my gun up to go shoot with it because he had one similar. .......

I watched a Senior shooter take a Perrazi off of the rack, and go shoot with it.... meanwhile the real owner came by and was. frantic over the loss..... the shooter came back and did not even apologize. I could not believe his behavior.

I also witnessed a stranger attempt to walk off with a 95% trap gun and leave his 50% unit in it's place. We stopped him but he swore up and down that he did not realize the mistake...... yeah right.

I guess stickers would be useful in these cases. I have noticed more guns in trunks between rounds in the last 3 years.

I ordered a bunch of barrel stickers from Custom vinyl decals vehicle graphics window sticker - they did really a good job! You can design your own right on their website.

Ohhhhh...those barrel stickers. A guy at the club I shoot at also makes those stickers, I thought his prices of $3 ea or 2 for $5 was high until looking at the link you supplied. I can think of more subtle ways of marking my guns for identification; but then I don't have fuzzy dice hanging from my rear view mirror either.

Oh, I hear ya. I know, those are quite expensive but I could not find anything cheaper of what I needed at the time. Also, I didn't order them for myself (I wouldn't put anything on my barrels) - it was for promotional purposes only.

Must have definitely been a trap shooter. That's not typical of a sporting clay shooter.

Enters: POPCORN. MAJOR POPCORN.

Barrels should be properly engraved.

There are so many 725,s around here that I have to put a piece of tape on the barrel to keep someone else from picking mine up by mistake. So a cool sticker might Bethe way to go

I wouldn't mind getting a sticker, but so far the only stickers I can find are ridiculous. "Whack em" "Flight Controller" "Quack Quack". I wouldn't mind getting an American flag, but can't find one. Someone picked up my gun at league this year and didn't realize my O/U was different from his 1100. Good thing I was there.

People picking your gun up and shooting it or someone walking off with your gun and when confronted insists that it's theirs? This is the reason that I have an ice pick, folding shovel and alcohol in my range bag......Joe

 

[mjtripper]

Put a tristar sticker on the perazzi and it might keep people from 'borrowing' the wrong gun.

I still put this barrel on the gun when doing new shooter orientation at the club.

My friend Mal picked up my Max TA and shot a trap at the PA State shoot and came back bitching that he couldn't hit a damned thing, wondering what was wrong, until he discovered the mistake. He was squad leader then took the score sheet and headed the wrong way to the other bank. That's Macomb for you..

 

[Jim Miller]

Schoolcop, don't let these guys talk you out of putting a sticker on YOUR gun if that is what you want.

 

[Chris Marvin]

When at PA State shoot and 20-30 guns in a rack, barrel sticker makes for easy identification. I've heard more than one story of the wrong gun walking away.

What racks in Elysburg hold 30 guns? All the racks I've seen there won't even hold a dozen.

[Border Bandit]

At Elysburg the ones on the line hold enough for the ready squad. In the covered shelters across the access road there's room for a dozen or so, with their owners sitting nearby.

That is crazy, but at the same time I am not surprised by it. People have no respect for others' property these days and often believe that they are entitled to just helping themselves.

I am hyper protective over my Perazzi and I do not even have one that has all of the engraving although I do have a nice high grade monte carlo stock. Fortunately I know a lot of the guys in the gun club I shoot at as I have been there for over 8 years and my dad knew many of them before I did. They are all super honest as we're in a smaller town and no one will ever touch another's gun without asking so I will leave mine in the gun rack in the clubhouse sometimes. If our club travels anywhere else though for tournaments or functions, everyone's guns go into their locked cases and people will take shifts watching them for everybody.
