    Short barrel as powerful as long barrel?

    Y'all will have to take me with a shot of "shine", sometimes I come off as a smart ass, but this time I was a little more informed, as I give talks on John Wilkes Booth, and how he escaped and lived until 1903!

    Short barrel as powerful as long barrel?

    That was a .41 cal. Derringer, one of a cased pair, he dropped the other one when he jumped to the stage, the janitor found it the next day while sweeping up, the short barreled guns were for concealment, and up close and personal shots!

    Revolutionary War Bison horns ?

    When I was a young man in 1960, my family went to Niagara Falls, there was a museum on the Canadian side that had a Woods Bison head hanging on the wall and it was twice the size of our Western Bison! Don't know if it is still there or not,it's been 60 years ago!

    Revolutionary War Bison horns ?

    I don't know if the Eastern Bison horn was smaller, I do a living history on the Natchez Trace, and a friend dug the top half of a Bison skull out of a creek bank and the outside horn of course was gone, but the inside core was larger than my Western horn I made into a powder horn back in 1962!
