Thought I'd start a new thread in hopes that it would catch on better than the last. My question is; How did you get hooked on M/L's; preferably but not exclusive to SideLocks. ....
Back in the late 70's, I was deep into archery. Shot competition and hunted every year. My hunting buddy and I use to conduct clinics at outdoor events. At one of these events, we started hearing some strange reports and watching smoke rise from just over the hill. Out of curiosity I went over to take a look. The first thing I saw, was three tepees, baker tents, women and men straight out of the late 1800's. A fella invited me to join them. Asked if he could shoot my bow. I let him and he shot just as good as I did, with excellent form. Then he offered me his Tryon to shoot. Didn't know what to expect beyond all that stinky smoke. Pulled the trigger and I was hooked. Handed the rifle back to him and said sarcastically, "Thanks A lot!!!" He just smiled and said "yor welcom" in Buckskinner fashion. I've been hooked ever since, lost count of my SideLocks. forgot more American history than I got in school and life it good. ....
"Always look forward to something" and;
Be Safe !!!
