You sound awful sophisticated for a native gal....; ^ )>
Just a city gal, born within the municipal limits of the City of Atlanta . . . but my dad is from Floyd County, upcountry NW GA, and they are hunters and fishermen from way back. Dad had me shooting a .22 as soon as I could lisp the "Ten Commandments of Gun Safety". He used to be a reloader in a pretty big way (he's moved on to other hobbies now, so I keep him in .348 Win for his Model 71), and he's the one that turned me on to Mr. Sharpe. Mom is a city gal too, but her father was a very serious duck hunter -- I mean sharing a boat and a piece of dirty canvas with a wet Lab with your feet in two inches of freezing water in the predawn fog on the Eastern Shore type serious. I have his Browning Sweet 16 and his shooting jacket, which fits me perfectly. Mom herself is a Life Member of the NRA (this gives us all giggle fits because she is a well-meaning but not very politically aware liberal. When she starts in with some gun control stuff we all embarrass her by hooting, "But YOU'RE a Life Member!" Her protests that she joined because she got a deal through her father's gun club are mostly ignored . . . :-D )
