I went to the Southern to pick up the Army & Navy hammer gun I had purchased earlier from the web site of Toby Barclay of Heritage Guns. I'm very happy with it and it's comforting to know that it has been thoroughly checked and anything wrong was fixed. I only shot the practice five stand with a box of shells I bought from the RST people. I forgot to cock the hammers on the first station but after that I did fine. Yes, it was hot but it was a great event. Nice location in the woods. Good turn-out. Lots of lovely doubles to admire. It was long trip from Southern California to North Carolina just to pick up a gun but it was worth it. I enjoyed the BBQ and the double rifle shooting. I also gave Toby my other vintage English double to take back to England for his restoration service.
