Re: Why did you take up shooting the Double?

I think that at times I am a man out of time. I enjoy using things that are well crafted and well suited for the intended purpose. I like things that have a history and a previous life. I like old Doubles, not new ones. I like old Cartridges, not new ones. I like Bamboo Fly Rods, not Graphite or Boron ones.

Too much of the time we are caught up in what is 'New' and 'Improved'. We fail to ask the question is it really necessary? Is it really and improvement or just something different?

I can pick up one of my old rifles and only imagine where it has been and what it has done. Try that with your new stainless steel shootinboomer pushfeed. Only old rifles are interesting.

I like the Journey, more than the Destination.
