Actually...,
I was thinkin' that we all should start to do that... those of us who are fans of Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen and the show having an impact on us and all. Kind of a sign of respect.
ONE to signal to anybody who is watching at the range and who is "IN" on the signal, that the shooter is a fan of Daniel Boone the TV show, and a sign of respect for the guys who got us interested in this hobby....and then TWO..., as a sort of "inside gag" for all the non-muzzleloader shooters on the range. IF they ask..., then they don't know and if they don't know we'll tell 'em something like "keeps the dust off" or "keeps the sight bright" (whatever that means) or some other nonsense.
Hey fraternities have secret hand shakes, Masons had or have some hand signals for their members.., why shouldn't we?
