Great story! Money does not make a man! And that's a beautiful powder horn.

[@blackoracle69]

You got that right!

[@margaretadler6162]

Great story, Blackie! We all have met clowns like store bought. And its always one of the great Joy's in life when someone like him or some bully or someone who thinks they're better than everyone else,finally get their comeuppance! It even a greater joy when you're the person serving it up! CONGRATULATIONS Blackie on your triumphant victory! ATB Sam Adler

[@blackoracle69]

thanks

[@clinkert483]

Heck of a story! Far too often good serviceable tools get snubbed off as junk when they can be made to live again

[@blackoracle69]

i agree i look for old stuff i find it is better in many ways to the new stuff

[@dadsausmchero]

I was literaly laughing to tears at the end of that. Great name for a great piece of kit.

[@blackoracle69]

thanks

[@randygalichia]

Just goes to show you, just because it's old and ugly, doesn't mean it isn't still usefull and good, like swartzenagger said in one of the Terminator movies "OLD, NOT OBSOLETE " awesome story Blackie, I could listen to those kind all day long, congrats on your win, like I say no matter how big and bad you think you are, someday, somewhere your going to come across someone bigger and badder than you.

[@blackoracle69]

very true

[@ccccclark2605]

Great name. Great story. A great VICTORY! Congrats! 🎉🍾

[@baronvonzollo5297]

That's a great story. I've always wanted an old workhorse tomahawk like that.

[@joshuaritzheimer1382]

Man alive, that is a tale for the ages! I love it! Thank you for sharing!

[@blackoracle69]

You bet!

[@williammaurer9450]

"The crowd went wild..." LMAO. Make Him Cry - Excellent story, nice powder horn too. Thx for the chuckle.

[@blackoracle69]

Thanks for listening

[@harwoodblades3633]

Brilliant campfire story..all the best from the north west of England.. Lincoln 🤙👍

[@galedavis3198]

Loved the story brother an the hawk. The JERK was right, the best man did win.

[@blackoracle69]

lol thank you

[@Mustang727L]

This tale reminds me of some of the old folk tales I cherish from my youth and younger days. My bride's Pappa would tell us stories of similar events while sitting around a campfire strumming a banjo. So much wisdom, no batteries or WI-FI required. 👍👍

[@kylewilkinson6975]

"That's funny right there, I dont care who you are." Nice story Blackie, I like it when the jerk gets what's coming to em. Victory in the end. Edited: I saw this about a year after its posting but still good to hear it.

[@redsorgum]

I like old make’em cry, such a great hawk….👏👏👏👏👏😘😘😘

[@blackoracle69]

thank you

[@kvonzwild8979]

Justice does happen on occasion! Thanks for sharing.

[@blackoracle69]

my pleasure

[@terrancecoard388]

I miss the company of men around a campfire...Great story! The Last Wagon with Richard Widmark came to mind (you remind me of him) and old Store Bought was Walter Matthau. I am willing to bet that his retelling of the story is quite different.

[@blackoracle69]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LRRP69]

Awesome story Blackie.....and I bet the blacksmith who made it would love that story as we did. Maybe even better

[@blackoracle69]

i like to think so

[@russelrogers2540]

I would imagine that , out of his hearing, he was referred to as Blowhard. Nice you were able to take him down a notch.

[@blackoracle69]

thanks

[@neitzsche5150]

Blackie, not only are you an amazing teacher, you're a raconteur of the highest order. That was an incredible story. Thank you, sir.

[@jasonludwig215]

🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏 great story blackie!!!! I'm glad you showed ol store bought a lesson that day 💯💯👏👏👏👏

[@gregknight293]

Wonderful story, Blackie ! The best man truly won big time and I wish I had been there to see it. Just hearing you tell it paints a vivid picture. Well done , Sir !

[@cristianpopescu78]

This one was greater than waching a movie! Wow!

[@blackoracle69]

Thanks for listening

[@jakeoutdoors9600]

That is a wonderful story sir! I was never a fan of people that thought they were the best because they bought the best stuff. I won a local shooting match with an old mini-14 that I bought for $400. They only guy that got upset was the guy with a several thousand dollar (he bragged to everyone) modern rifle that looked like a Marine should be using it a 2000 yard sniper rifle. His scope bases were probably more than my rifle and I was using steel case Russian ammo. We were shooting different sizes of pop bottles at 100 yards from the standing position. Smaller bottle more points. I got double points for not using a scope. All the other 30 some people there had fun. After this jerk lost he was complaining that I only won because I didn't use a scope. A lot of people there were using open sights but it was the only thing he felt he had on me, I guess.

[@blackoracle69]

yep he thought he could buy skill he needs to learn to shoot lol

[@Vule34]

Awesome story! Made my week!

[@braddockery2293]

That is a awesome story. Keep the stories coming. It makes me think of a old friend who's past away now. But he could tell the best what I call whittling stories we would just sit around the wood stove make coffee , whittling and trade stories.

[@blackoracle69]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nickbarry7039]

Shotgunner by heart, reminds me when I was at sporting clays shoot . I was in B class store bought was in AA class. I was shooting a $400.00 Remington 870 pump, his gun was a over and under so tricked out I could not even tell you what it was. After 75 out of 100 targets I earned the name (muthershucker). Went on to top his score. We have all run into these types before and it is refreshing to here when they get put in there place! Your story is much better than mine and keep up the good work you do.
