Must be, in certain sectors.. Anyone talked to or dealt with Kirby Hoyt recently.? I met him at the MI UP Father's Day weekend clays event in 1910-- very fine gent. He let me handle a 12 bore Churchill XXV- said I could shoot it on a clays open event to see how well it might fit me-- I passed, but it showed me what a fine gent he is- a few years later I bought a field grade 12 Smith from him- SST and EJ-- when I asked him what to add for shipping costs- he asked if I was a Veteran? "Yes"! He told me that he doesn't charge for shipping to Vets- I found that quite impressive-wonder if other dealers in the USA offer that?? RWTF

Foxy;
Just can't pass this one up. You met Kirby Hoyt in "1910"?? Plus you were already old enough to handle a gun. My Mom & Dad were both born in 1910, which would make them 109 years old were they still alive.
That makes you a mighty Old Man.

Like Patton, it must have been in an earlier life.  Typos NEVER happen.

Obviously when I started my post with "Foxy; Just can't pass this one up" I knew it was a typo. Ted made his post while I was typing or I would not have added to it. As Geo said, All in Fun, & anyone who has followed this board will well know I have made my share of TYPOs.

Me too- Patton was born, as was Hemingway, before 1900--I did a typo, we met in 2010 at the Sagola Gun Club, near Iron Mountain, MI- June, Father's Day week-end. I liked the 30 bird pigeon ring best, I broke 27 clays out of 30 thrown, BUT- only scored 22, as the tape tags affixed to each clay had to drop inside the fenced in circle- and even if you shatter the clay, that old devil Mr. Breeze can push the tape outside of the scoring ring. I never have shot real columbaire or box released pigeons, just a "schmidt-load' of the barn versions awing-- tricky, indeed. RWTF

Hey Bill- my Corvette "history" showed the first year of production to be 1953- with the "Blue Flame 6" in-line engine (same engine as in my first car, and 1951 Bel_Air 2 door coupe, 3 piece rear window,"three on the tree" stick shift. I believe that in 1955- Chevy brought out their first V-8- , but perhaps the late Mr. Kidd ordered the 6 cylinder engine for his 'Vette. RWTF

The late Gene Hill's book: "Shotgunner's Notebook" has a beautiful high grade A.H. Fox on the front DJ cover. Can any of you Fox guys i.d. it, assuming you have that great book in your library? RWTF Looks like a C.
