Bad choice for Annie Oakley as she had a pair of Lancasters made and had shooting lessons at Lancaster's shooting school.

I was amused by Run-with-the-fox's idea of shooting in England. If you want difficult sport, try shooting wood pigeons flighting in to roost on a windy night. Diggory will tell you how testing they can be. I shot a load last week and the choice of gun was an Ithaca Model 37 12 bore; left the Purdey at home. I only bought the Ithaca so that I could test some steel ammo and for some reason I can shoot extremely well with it. I now use it most of the time for pigeon shooting. Lagopus.....
