Friday is the day to christen the new Double 12 I got from Cat...
I had caps and powder and shot, but no wads or cards. Today I got a few cards and wads from my buddy, and now I am getting excited to try out the Pedersoli double. I can't wait to hear her bark and belch smoke and flames.
I expected a heavy weight gun like my Hawhen rifles are, but to my delight it is the lightest weight double I ever held. After the shooting trials on friday I will post about how good or bad and easy cats directions above are, without the part about removing a charge because of no powder in the barrel I hope.
I think I am sliding off the evolutionary chain. Modern semi autos to compound bows , to traditional bows , to Home made all wood self bows, to percussion caps and Flint locks.
Yup going backwards and loving every step.
