Very pretty boat, and likely to be fun to sail. I particularly like the
keel/centerboard configuration too. But it's going to be very very
expensive for a weekender, and anyway a boat called Friendship should at
least have bowsprit, if not a flying jib & topsail.

Not only one shotgun, but three...plus a .45, and various other types nad
model;s of rifle both modern and restored antique...he is also a good
shot...

Let me guess... a 12g leggal for hunting, a sawed-off 12g for
anti-personnel use, and a 410 for household pests.

I would have assumed so, what's the point otherwise?

Nope...1 12 gauge, 1 16 gauge, and an old double barrel...

Why a 16g?

I love to shoot a double barrel, but that's just being an old fogey.
Modern autoloaders are very quick & smooth.

bird gun...it's nice to shoot...no kick....

Sure but nothing looks better than a Double [side-by] under your arm.
I'm not much of a fan of the double over'n under though....

My old H&H .500 Nitro Express was a double barrel rifle.

Ah, the traditional ladies gun... and a 16g does have some kick, just
not as much.

Only if you're a fan of the tradional hunt look.

I happen to like the appearance of a Tommy gun with the old cylindrical
50-round magazine on top. Businesslike. But not for carrying around out
in the woods... well maybe in some parts of the world, yes... but at
least not the woods near my house...

I've never shot an over/under 12g enough to get any feel for wether
they're different. It's been said that they have better alignment and
are easier to balance, but IMHO they just have a certain snob appeal
because they're usually much more expensive.

I have an Armalite over/under .410 with a .22, plastic stock, supposed
to be a "survival gun." It's a hoot. Cheap fun, too.

Admit it..... a crisp fall day.... a logging road.... grouse hunting.... a
nice double under your arm... now that's a Field & Stream moment!

I've used my friend's for skeet... they are great for skeet shooting.

Yeah..... those are fine little guns. I used one once for grouse hunting.
