I stumbled across this and thought the word picture worth sharing. Here is my introduction and a link:
Let us journey down this road...
Picture an old man, 18th century garb, a long 20 bore fowler at hand and a fine morning afield. Then a doe, interupting the stillness and offering only a moment in which to launch the leaden sphere. The front and only sight is clear, the cock - already drawn - snaps forward, sharp flint to steel hammer, white smoke billows...

Good story, thank you! That was a fun read!
I enjoy hunting with a Dixie TMR (left-handed, .50 caliber) mainly because it's probably very similar to the rifle carried by my umpteen-times-great-grandpa when he moved his family here from Tennessee in 1821.
I guess the rationale is "if you don't know where you come from, how do you know where you're going?"
