Help me understand this...

Welcome to the PGCA Andy and thank you for becoming a member. We all grew up knowing damascus guns would blow apart if shot with smokeless powder. Then one day a guy named Sherman Bell decided to find out for himself whether or not it was true. His research and experimentation is fully documented in the Double Gun Journal. It shifted everyone’s paradigm who read it. As a result thousands of great old wall hangers came down off the mantle and began giving their owners much pleasure. I would highly recommend you get Sherman Bell’s articles and read about one of the most fascinating excursions into debunking an old myth. Come to the Southern Side by Side in April and I guarantee you will get to handle and shoot a damascus barreled, underlifter hammer gun if you want to.
