First, some of us here regard the term "Fudd" as an insult equal to the N word or "Jewboy".
Let's not see it here again.
The enemy is not some old guys with Ljutics,Sietzs and Alfermanns. It's Sarah Brady, Eric Holder, Diane Feinstein,etc.
When I started shooting trap seriously about 12 years past, I used an 870 and showed up in redneck toggery. A bunch of those old guys took me in like a long lost brother and showed me the ropes.
That included not bouncing hulls off a 12 gauge work of art. Or playing the fool while holding a firearm.I also was privileged to borrow a number of fine shotguns, some running into five figures, because these kids shared their toys.
I do see some folks sticking to their own circles and not welcoming new shooters. I also see others go the extra mile so that new shooters, especially kids and females, have an enjoyable and productive experience.
And it's not hard to rig a rubber band around an 1100 receiver to trap an empty when shooting singles and handicap. The one around a bunch of broccoli at the market is perfect.
