[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2080279, member: 711"] My paternal grandfather was, no kidding, a cowboy on the Chisolm Trail the last two years it operated. He was 12 when he left home in Georgia without permission and went to Texas. They didn't call them CowBOYS for nothing, though the John Wayne movie of the same name pushed it a little. He never claimed to be more than an average shot for the day, but I saw him kill a flying woodpecker (you know how erratic their flight path is) at about 20 feet. He used a 12 ga rabbit eared double, and very little of the bird ever reached the ground. The pecker had been eating on the house. Grandpa would have laughed at the idea of any small group of thugs taking over a town. He hunted quail with .22 shorts when he was younger, and said he never shot one on the ground. So with this in mind, I want to be an average joe in the town with a Winchester who backshoots about three of the bad guys. Remember that cheating in a gunfight is legal. But first I want a big helping of those Blazin' Saddles Beans. [/QUOTE]
