NorthStar Canoe Gun

Coaches, boat decks, and other places a longer gun might not serve as well...

Oh no! Now you're resurrecting the justification for the term "canoe gun!" :rotf: :stir: Gee whiz, that newfound love for modern "Hawkens" and the like must seriously be affecting your neurons. :wink: :grin:

I have come to the conclusion that anything anyone uses now that loads from the front or has to do with loading from the front is OK/PC/HC/traditional or no one would be using the stuff, no one would willingly and knowingly be phoney ...would they?

No idea where the term Canoe gun came from but for us north country folks who grew up with a paddle in hand it was a very common term even used my my great grandfather who used a 24 inch doublehammer muzzleloader shotgun for deer an sm game in the mid to late 1800s on the Canadian border in his canvas and bark canoes.(man I got to dig out those ol black an whites)
And prabably because they used em in Canoes.
And that is Historically correct.

I looked at this thread to find out about short barreled guns. My arthritis is so bad I can't hold up my 42 inch fowler. I wasted my time. Bickering I can get at home.

But can you Bicker about short barrled canoe guns? :bow:

I love my Short/Canoe gun in 16ga. Go ahead and get one. It will soon be your favorite. What I have learned here is, that the people who say they do not like Canoe Guns, have never had them , not seen them and don't use them. We who have and do, are very happy with them. :hatsoff:

I dont own a canoe or a gun for one but I do have a 1936 bolt action 20. It has an 18.5 inch barrel and I can shoot 55 gallon drum size targets out to 100 yards all day. I imagine that being black powder that a .62 cal would be all that different. At least out to 75 yards. But I'm no expert. :grin:
