Hey guys, let up on old Bronko.

Sure, he's old. Sure he's a bit feeble. It does not matter that he can't seem to remember to bring a muzzleloader along when he goes to Florida, because he's likely incapable of finding a place to shoot while he's there for months on end (he gets lost a lot these days).

But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve our respect. After all, he has that new .54 flinter and a .58 caplock, so he's one of us. And at least thinks about shooting. I understand he even got a neat "shooting aid" tattoo on his left wrist last month.
