Default So I'm a sexist jerk

I called Traditions this morning to ask them how do I remove the barrel from my full stock flintlock rifle.

After calling the toll-free service number a female picks up the phone. Thinking this is the receptionist, I ask for someone who can help me with removing a gun barrel.

She says to me: "I can help with that..."

Yea right I'm thinking. So I describe what I'm trying to do. When finished, without skipping a beat she says: "oh thats pretty easy you just blah, blah, blah..."

"Well what about the ram rod retaining spring, I guess that is held in place by the lock plate screw" I ask her.

And once again without hesitating she proceeded to give a clear and thorough answer.

Sounded like Mrs. Cayugad on the phone!

Well I am happy toreport that Traditions service department is very helpful and competent.

I went to the doctors with my GF yesterday and she picked up a field and stream and started reading an article on bowhunting. Then she was reading a paper on terminal wound ballistic theories last night. When I get done she will know more than most of the guys I hang out with. She does't want to hunt yet though, she is just interested in the technical part of it.

I called darton once with a question about cam timing and string location on the cam. The receptionist actually knew what I was talking about and walked me thru it. Then sent me all the tech papers for my bow along with a catalog next day mail at no charge. I was pretty impressed.

I guess most chics figure they are gonna be judged as clueless so they try harder and usually end up making better tech people in the end. The woman from Renegade i talked to about my bow was extremely knowledgable and helpful.

Hey Paul does that gf of yours have a sister?

There's a woman who works as a gunsmith at a local Gander Mountain store. If I want work done on something or need advice or help finding a reloading tool, I talk to her. The men who work at the counter may be able to tell a few deer hunting stories but have no clue when you ask them a technical question about a gunand will often stare blankly at the powder cabinet after you ask them to fetch you something from it. That, and the woman is great looking also.

My wife was all excited when I bought my ML......even thought it would be "neat" if she could shoot it. Thats as far as we got on that subject and I don't care to go any farther.
