My only experience shooting a powerful kicking weapon, other than with my 12 gauge goose killer was with my redneck brothers Clint Eastwood Magnum 44 handgun. We used to blow up rotten stumps in Montana on flyfishing trips. He also considered it grizzly bear protection. On the other hand I preferred my off key singing style when I saw big paw prints along the stream bank. It seemed to have worked....:) troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-48643529838038143232015-07-20T11:37:01.497-05:002015-07-20T11:37:01.497-05:00I did not know you were a "lefty" too!I did not know you were a "lefty" too!Gravyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285807229419992129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-31935749306857937722015-07-20T10:50:06.042-05:002015-07-20T10:50:06.042-05:00You just jogged my old memory again.

We wanted to sit and paint in the park but it was too populated. We really enjoyed seeing the event and took so many photos. The guy shooting his gun for demo was almost hurt with a backfire. I doubt he could hear the rest of the day. I don't even remember where those pictures are. Not on a computer but are in real photo form. Jim sounds like a good friend and it makes it interesting to visit his experience. L.
