All three of you show up at a shoot with that, or any other gun, with 3" of drop, I'd put my money on the Colonel, and his gun that doesn't have 3" of drop, actually shooting, rather than talking about it. Some of us are interested in better scores, or more game in hand, rather than "managable" shooting, with our heads up.
Does Digweed's gun have 3" of drop? Why do you suppose it doesn't? Do any of you think you could outshoot him with a gun that does?
Just sayin'.

Best,
Ted
