"Randy, you challenged Gene, that means he gets choice of weapons!"

After giving this the amount of attention which it deserves, I've made my choice :

It will be "Negroshooters", using the rules in effect in 1950.

1. Weapons must be made by the duelist himself.

2. No fair using the red rubber inner tubes for material.

3. Stock must be a forked branch from any type tree.

4. Projectiles must be picked up on site. [no fair using the spent bullets which litter the landscape at Ed's place]

5. Duelers face off at 200 yards and advance toward the other, with "Seconds" accompanying them.

6. Shooting commences with the first step and continues until they both get tired.

7. Hiding behind "Seconds" is frowned on, but not impermissible. [Miles is MY Second]

Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
