It now tends to be a Savage 24 in 30/30 over 20ga.

I also carry a Security Six, just because.

I may get a 20ga Trade Rifle later on, I do like the old smoke poles, just don't have a smooth bore yet.

Bows and arrows, while I am good with them, are not my thing. My old Bear recurve long had a limb crack while it was in storage a few years ago. Maybe if I found another one like it, I may take up archery again.

I have a smooth bore that you would like, it is the Beretta tricentenial O/U percussion 12 GA. It is amazing how light this thing is.

I believe that's what this means....
