Man she would have some kick!
I remember an old lady telling me one day when she was a 'much, much' younger lady that she had to shoot a snider one day (most probably getting rid of pigs in there crops) - "damn thing kicked like a mule". At just over 8 1/2 lbs it would have a fair old thump either end!
But at just over 3 lbs it would have been fearsome.........better that or get eaten by a tiger!
Wonderful example Lancaster to say the least!
