Yeah, M.V. Highsmith use to scold me for dreaming of a Luftwaffe drilling, just as I had discovered the 3 Barreled Bastards. To bore the few & fleeting, I will skim over the back story. I was Quail hunting on our property in West Alabama & got a great point in a brushpile by one of our Female English Pointers. The Brushpile was quite large, so I eased around it & out popped the Hartford Buck, maybe a little bigger as it seemed(Bullwinkle was the other thought). He stood up & it was a 3 Way Mexican Standoff w/ my Pointer looking @ me like >>What do we do??<<. The Hartford Whitetail hopped off & I never saw him again. So I started carrying a 30-30 w/ my Remington 1100 and that was pretty much a trainwreck. Then I stumbled onto the Kombo and subsequent Drilling. Anyway, Highsmith would say you carry that >>Kraut Knife<< and dream of that >>Kraut Drilling and those things were $500 with the box in the 1950s & 1960s. Get yourself a Proper Gun<< I do wish that had carried over into the late 1970s.....
