If you can't find it, you can come over to my place and use one of my vintage Winchester 67s. I've got three of 'em!Henry wrote:Um, ah, on second thought, where's my .22 Remington?1926CredenzaOwner wrote:You got it!

I'm just wondering what would you launch a 78 with? Are launchers made for them or does someone at the other end of a field just throw them as high as they can?
