Newbius had brought a beautiful old long gun to Northcoast II and everyone who shot it was ooh'ing over the recoil. I hung back, watching.
Mike said, "You want to try it?" He was grinning.
I demurred. No, no. Too much for little ol' me. Alan nodded. "Do it." Everyone was looking at me expectantly.
Fine. I'll shoot anything once, or at least try - I had promised myself that long ago.
*language warning*
Uh..okay. I guess I'll try again.
And yes, I liked it so much, I DID shoot it again.

Glad you liked it. You should try shooting some clays with it... :D
Wouldn't it be more fun to to shoot boar with it?
Of course, if the boar hunting with the Drilling isn't old skool enough for you,

I love that grin whenever someone shoots something new that they like.
Hmmm. Anybody have a Matchlock for Next Year? If we're going Olde Skool....
Breda, thanks again for the link. Here is another picture of the gun: http://newbius.blogspot.com/2011/09/drilling.html
