Willam & Co.

[Daniel G Rainey]

Invited to a Tower Pheasant Shoot at Prairie Wildlife yesterday. It was put on by William & Co. of London. They there to show there wares. All very high end but I guess you get what you pay for. They have all of their guns made for them in London. Do not know a lot about English sidelocks but the are a dream to handle. There was a 12 bore side by side with a cast on that about fit me but not my pocketbook. Told them I sure would look good when I missed with that gun in my arms. At my age you do not want your arms wrapped around an ugly woman or an ugly gun. The English certainly did more than there part with the Tower pheasants. It was easy to tell they been there before. I shot acceptable with my 16 DHE with 32 barrels choked full and full. As always, the after shoot cocktails and bull session was very entertaining with insights from across the pond. Dinner was outstanding and had fun day.
