Contentment.

[Skychief]

This whole contentment business................After yesterdays eureka moment with my roundball shooting, I think I get it. :grin:

Someone once told me that such moments are called "enlightenment".

Enjoy your smoothbore Zen-ness, Grasshoppa. :haha:

Best regards, Skychief

It's funny, the older I get, the less I care what folks think about my shooting endeavors. I much prefer to slip into the woods with my Caywood and slip along and wonder. Love squirrel season, and even if the only shot I make is to empty my gun before I go home, it is a great day.

Gives me the chance to contemplate things, maybe discuss a few things with my creator. Shoot, maybe just find that perfect oak tree to lean up against and have a little nap. Hopefully one day I will catch a little buck that gets a bit too curious.

Contentment......that is it.

Britsmoothy wondered aloud on another thread why smoothbores are not more popular. I answered that I didn't know.

I think a lot of it has to do with our perception of the Frontier Rifleman, his mythical shots at great distances, the stated preference among NA for rifles, even the dread of losing the chance at the buck of a lifetime because he showed up just out of range of the smoothbore....

But there were a lot of smoothbores around way back, they had advantages in a fight (as well as versatility for hunting), and the buck of my lifetime was unscathed by my rifle shot at far less than 100 yards (not buck fever, an intervening tree trunk).

Each time I read one of these threads, I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of enjoyment not having a smoothbore.

Well, at least I'm getting the enjoyment of reading about your enjoyment. :grin:

Well put brother. I'm much the same. A friend of mine once told me that I was maturing as a sportsman. Boy that was a relief, I thought I was just getting lazy!
