Of the French and Indian war era. Besides camping out and drinking around a campfire, they had 'woods walk' competitions. He told me about a guy who was going throught the woods course and saw a target. He fired at him with his rifle. Smoke cleared and the s premed per hollered "Miss!" Guy pulls his flintlock smooth bore pistol and lets fly. Same thing; smoke clears and a miss. He then reaches into his belt and pulls his tomahawk and runs screaming at the target. He managed to hack it to pieces in short order. Everyone got a good laugh, but they had to find another target so the next shooter could run the course!
