    Find somewhere to shoot first and buy the gun to suit what you want to do.

    In field target, do as I told Terry Doe way back in the 1980's when he asked for advice on his third shoot - "aim for the round bit"

    I’ve found it impossible to load my Original 75 and hold the cocking lever I know it has an anti bear trap mechanism but I’m always a little wary. The way the breech slide moves forward it would chop your fingers quite nicely if it malfunctioned
