[stormcrow]

You guys are being great enablers for those of us who don't own a smoothbore (keep the pics coming) ! :thumbsup:

Lord save me from lusting after all this gorgeous eye candy. May someone post an ugly one to bring me down from the clouds. :rotf:

[hanshi]

Greenmntboy, that is not, I repeat NOT an ugly gun. That pic is fantastic. You're raising your family the right way, my friend.

 

[Stumpkiller]

He never disappoints, doe he. :hatsoff: Somehow got the image reversed though. The rock's on the wrong side.

Even his avatar image makes me chuckle every time I see it. :applause:

Hudson Valley fowler by Roy Stroh. 55" Rayl barrel in .69, Davis lock, TOW trigger and buttplate, (Roy made sideplate, thimbles and escutcheon), maple stock, weighs a bit over 8 1/2 lbs, balances like a dream. Best gun I ever hunted with.

 

[Stumpkiller]

55"! Outstanding!


Gives new meaning to "follow through". You have to do a standing three count to make sure the shot has cleared the barrel.

 

[rabjr]

:haha: How can you miss when the muzzle is about touchin the target! :thumbsup:

 

[Maestro]

The whole thing wouldn't even fit in the photo! :haha:

(55" - that is very cool!)

 

[John Tice]

:haha: Roy did an outstanding job. I have shot target and hunted with flintlocks for 25 years. The longer barrel makes a huge difference in terms of range and shot pattern. I can easily take squirrels from the tops of tall hardwoods, it's an absolute joy to shoot. Because the gun is so well balanced, it carries and aims very naturally. It makes perfect sense to me now why the early guns had such long barrels.

 

[John Tice]

A longer shot (with all the barrel :haha: ).
The pics don't do it justice.

 

[Skychief]

G.M.B., how long of a barrel is your fowler wearing?

Thanks, Skychief

 

[Greenmtnboy]

it's 42 inches

 

[Greenmtnboy]

Thats cool John!
We are a bit scarse with small game here in CO.
I have very few blue grouse,good rabbit, but no tree rats I miss having them in the woods to hunt.
:thumbsup:

 

[Jason Lewis]

[Hipshot]

That is an outstanding photo GMB. Maybe there is hope for us after all :hatsoff:

 

[stone knife]
