I was young when I first started reading about doublegun mechanics and the sporting life.
Forty years later, I’m not.
So, I’d say many are dead.
Those that would have been younger participants then, just choose to spend their time elsewhere.

I know a handful that left here because of the stuff that people regularly complain about that aren’t dead.

Some will be happy about that, and some will not.
C’est la vie.

Out there doing it best I can.
