    Doing what I like best.

    tg I do use a smootie. Did you notice the shot snake over my sholder? I got the caywood fowler a year ago and am learning how to use her. Got a few rabbits last winter and hope to go again this year. It shoots a round ball pretty good too. Smooth bores are :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hatsoff...
