You might be a redneck....

I thought you were going to use your shirt tail as wadding

Funny , I've done that . I still use my black and white flannel in the shop but a portion of it is cut away on the back when I was out on a hunt and needed wadding.

Good to know I am not the only one

The thread title reminds me of a LOT of song lyrics. Dwight Yoakum comes to mind first.
Daddy had old tires to sale. For a dollar or two. Cash.
Redneck qualifying question one: Sofa on the porch or in the yard? Question two: Is there a car in the yard that will get you to the 7-11 AND back again?
In the early 1950's I was a child among rednecks, but rednecks were different then. I felt very comfortable, appreciated, and loved.

I was gonna say that….

I had a 45 cal CVA pistol when I was 14. I cut open some 16g buckshot shells for the lead. It was stupid, but they did make holes in the neighbors aluminum shed.

Yes, indeed!

Also Yoakum's "Reading, Righting Route 23" which should have been my mother's family anthem.

Yeah, I was 14 when I got my 45 CVA, and dirt Poor. I used 30-06 shells for carrying powder, and duct tape for lids. Patches and balls in my pocket, caps didn't rattle bad in your back Wrangler pocket.
I walked about 2 miles to hunt deer, the tape came off several '06 cases. Big mess.
But I soon got it together and killed this big bearded hen. Walked on air for a month.

How many of us know the phrase "down home"? Breaks my heart when I hear it.
