What sort of bow is that? Very nice photo and perfectly appropriate for this thread in my opinion.
Thanks for the kudos; It's a Fedora 560 Hunter one piece recurve. 63# @28". Dad's pretty partial to them, he has two like this and two takedown versions.

Marlin 1894 in 38-40, over 100 years old and still killing critters...
Its little brother in .25-20.
Actually, this is it's little brother, a rare model 1889 Marlin SRC in 38-40...
If you're inclined to drink until you pass out by a campfire, well, I'll supply the juice if you bring along those guns.

Does this count? This is my son. He was about 10 at the time.. It is way back on some public land and I call this stump " The Old Man" I first found it in 1989. The shotgun is my Franchi 48.

every Savage I've owned has shot lights out. I've been thinking of doing a LRH in 6.5 x 284. What's your's chambered in?

I've been heard to make the comment, If the only thing I was interested in was accuracy, all my rifles would be Savage.
and that is not meant as a derogatory statement.
