Vintagers Shoot

Not everyone. We are not all wired alike by The Almighty.r

I enjoy shooting and always kept score and was very competitive when I was young same when hunting how much game in the bag. now I got rid of my competition Guns away and only shoot antiques and a couple or more modern SXS now Its about watching the dogs the guns and being outdoors and the fellowship. I still try my best but even bad days are fun. one thing I never picked up on was the playing dress-up part! I think a tartan wool shooting vest and cargo shorts is about as correct as a torch job on a Parker. but thats just me.

My competition Guns are “antiques”. And admittedly I’m way over obsessed with scores and averages. Probably not healthy.

Love the pictures of Beverly, btw. Impressed with her ability to keep her head on the stock.

I'm not surprised they don't keep score. Think of the place and times that they are trying to emulate. The large shoots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries on the European and British Isles rich or nobility's estates were huge social occasions. Men, women, and older children would kill for an invite. Everyone shot. More business was done, fine guns admired, introductions made, gossip passed, and marriages arranged than anywhere else. When foreign leaders visited they didn't take them golfing, they arranged a shoot. Other than a small group of the top shooters it could be considered bad form to asked how someone shot. For most it was probably secondary to the occasion.

Well said Mr. Brown.
