I just read the "Pump Gun" topic and was amused at some of the remarks about young people today and shooting. Perhaps, amused, is not the right word, but there was much truth in that post and in what many of us have witnessed with the new crop of hunters and shooters.

I was hunting grouse one day near a public waterfowl area with an older, but rather nice, H & H double. Some young guys drove up in an old beat up pick up truck and stepped out with their auto loaders, to hunt geese on a large, near by, pond. One of them looked at me and my Holland and said, "I have one of those just like that behind my kitchen door - I should shoot it one day". I just smiled at him and went on my way in search of a few upland birds.

As I told older gentlemen at another shotgun site you must be thankful for us having youth that even like guns or hunting. That is a blessing. Be happy at least they didn't ask you for Grey Poupon of 80s advertising campaign fame.

Ignorance is correctable. As long as someone cares enough to teach the difference. If they are interesed, they will find out, and seeing your gun may just have provided enough of a spark to start the journey.
Did you consider, that, maybe, just maybe, there is indeed a Holland & Holland Royal behind the kids door? Stranger thing have happened.
When I was 17, nothing in the world could compare to my Remington model 17.
Things have changed, for sure, in the breadth of my knowledge, if not my success at the actual bringing home of game.
Others helped me along.


Best,
Ted

Many people say things they shouldn't. I once owned an Audi 5000. A friend I hadn't seen in a long time bumped into me and, while admiring my car said "I've got one just like that". Turned out he had an Audi 4000, same color.

Nah, I was thinking there is a Woodward, Purdey (not to be confused with excellent Purdy paint brushes), or Boss behind them doors.

I'm sure they're around, but I don't think there're many young folks that can wake up one morning and figure they're going to buy an H&H and go grouse hunting. More likely, a young person would be sleeping in till the morning is gone and whining about how terrible hunting is while investing their time at the local coffee boutique.

I tell them pilgrims to go to Dunkin Donuts if there is any around and say go easy on the sugar. Much better coffee than in most of them coffee boutiques, so called.

The trend is to over roast and brew to excessive viscosity.

I blame Starbucks and the goofballs on the west coast for this.

I'm not against a darker roast Colombian after dinner, but I generally prefer a fresh medium roast correctly made which means about 5 grams/cup to my taste.

Many people still agree with this concept.. Dunkin Donuts is a medium to light roast and one of the best selling coffees in the country.

Try Community Coffee out of New Orleans. They have something for everybody.

Kids to coffee...have to laugh.

My 22 year old cousin wants nothing to do with anything but synthetic and matte finish. I keep telling him to buy an old classic. Maybe someday if I keep workin on him....

Almost any coffee made from fresh ground beans will fill my cup.
