re: Inherited a gun from my Grandfather

Neat. My similar story is that when my grandpa (mom's side) died, I got his bow--an old Browning Accelerator. After a few years I found out the backstory on the bow. My dad owned the bow and sold it to my grandpa. But before selling it, dad killed his first bow buck with it-which, despite being smaller than his other mounts, is still hanging in his living room. My parents divorced when I was young, long before any of this transpired, so dad didn't realize that I had the bow. And, he doesn't know that I'm in the process of taking all the camo tape off (the bow is pristine underneath). I'll restore it to new condition and give it back to my dad to hang above that deer.

Also, my dad sold my grandpa the accelerator because he bought a browning drake flightmaster that he used for several years and then passed down to me. I used it to get my first bow kill when I was 19-a small six. I still have it.
