Not a chance. I even took the first shot from a friend's pristine Bowen custom, and felt no shame.
Ha, that wouldn't have bothered me either (especially since it wasn't mine, ha). Recent production unfired guns don't bother me in terms of shooting them. But ones that are older than me, well those are the ones I have a hard time with the idea of shooting them.
Several have what I refer to as their "body doubles". Same gun, but a shooter that I can play with.
