Just a comment, doesn't mean anything one way or another. I used to do alot of hunting from a canoe with my carolina gun with a 48" barrel. I had no problems loading it while sitting in a canoe.
Oh , I know bud . I remember when that name was coined the first time , saw it in Muzzleloader I believe . I like a long Fowler in a canoe anyway . Squirrels are far away ....
