She refuses to budge unless first consuming 100grns plus of black and 1&1\2oz of shot.
She belches and pharts in the most vulgar fashion.
Many a time I consider a divorce but keep resisting due to her ability to provide a willing spark in my life!
In fact she would spark with a pebble I think!
So, we commsumated our relationship over a passion for pheasant.
Great Photos !
I have a friend who was big time into metal detecting and found handful's of the round balls shot from Bess's on town greens all over New England. He believed it was due to drilling of colonial's. He just gave me a perfect flint that he found. Makes one really wish it could talk.
I never have fired a flint gun and someday will have to fix that problem. Is that Bess a shortened one?

It's just a Pedersoli short version, nothing special really except for her lock which is uber reliable.
She was sparking on a chip of flint I smashed off a lump someone kindly gave me, I say chip as I can not Knapp!
You have not fired a flintlock!! That's disgusting! See you correct your gross error soon!
As it stands now the Flintlock is the champ for longevity in that it stayed in use two centuries IIRC before a malcontent duck hunter used some fulminate of mercury to make a lock that was faster so the ducks wouldn't alert when they saw the pan flash of the Flinter and take flight before the shot got there..
Pretty Pics Nath. Well done as usual Do you carry a tripod?

No sir. I just prop the camera somewhere handy.
This camera is a cellphone, Motorola g4.
That looks like a lot of fun. I prefer the taste of Pheasant to any other bird.

Staglag 17, one of my favorites.
Was 11 or 12 when it hit the screen in Dallas. Saw it at the Magestic Theater in downtown Dallas. Went with my dad. The females, Granny, sister and Momma stayed home as they didn't think they would enjoy a "war movie". Dumb girls!!!
Nath please keep your photos coming, we all sure enjoy them!

Good photographs Nath as always. Thank you. Care to tell us the story of how you bagged the pheasant? Always enjoy your stories.

Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.
Nath ya need to go full circle and get a matchlock.
