Some 45 odd year ago, I was 8, or just turned 9, it was my first step father's dad, Granpap Parker's rifle. He showed me how to bark a squirrel with an original .36 Southern Mountain Poor Boy.

Shot my first muzzleloader in 1970. Spanish built smooth bore flintlock pistol in .69 cal. Lots of smoke, and I could hit the ground with every shot. :grin:
