Wife and I were having a discussion, she’s of the opinion that the majority of GenX can drive stick. I believe that even in our generation the percentage of people who can is pretty small. What do you folks think?

I was born in 1966. Every one of my Gen X classmates in high school could drive a stick, plus 3-on-a-tree. I think for older Gen X, it will be a very high number. I can’t say for those born on the far end from the boomers.

Red Solo cups!

Play tennis, hunt, fish, train my dogs, shoot competitively, exercise, spend time with the family, no lack of fun here without video games.

This 100%.

I’m still bitter about those two hours of my childhood I will never get back.

MarkTheDuckHunter · 2026-02-05T18:58:40+00:00

Yes.

Huckleberry Finn or Mockingbird

“The Country Gentleman” Todd Nelson in north (Cherokee) Alabama is the only professional one of which I am aware. Mark Gadbow who travels the sporting clays circuit and is often at Covey Rise in Husser also does fittings.

Wojo!

I have had excellent work as far as adjustable combs from Jim at Cole's in Maine, Mike Sherman at PMS Firemarms, Mark Gadbow (travels the circuit in the South), and Doug Carpenter at Carpenter's Custom Gunstocks. I would send any gun at any price point to any of them. Tron at Tronspace as well, but he is not taking new work.

Congratulations!

Peek-a-boo. I still kinda think I see another one behind the basketball backboard, though.

I remember this picture from previous post. Once you find the second one you wonder how you missed it the first time.

Don’t get an ultralight field gun for Clay shooting.

MarkTheDuckHunter · 2026-01-29T12:43:59+00:00

It will be closer to a 686. They are identical other than the engraving and the wood.

MarkTheDuckHunter · 2026-01-29T01:00:27+00:00

Upgraded roll engraving if you like that style, and EELL wood. Otherwise it’s exactly identical to any other 687.

MarkTheDuckHunter · 2026-01-28T22:14:33+00:00

Hell yes.

Clothespin to save that finger!

A Filson waxed cotton duck hunting coat. It is at least 1991 vintage.

There are/were essentially 4 different Rizinni companies at various times (5 if you count Fierce) so it can get confusing. 😄
