Some few of you know I am a "gun buff." Shoot paper and collect old war rifles. Anyway, I subscribe to a few related newsletters and a colorful story in one today is amazing for what was accomplished and for a glimpse of the life of a plucky Canadian native woman. A window into a different, rugged world. Seems this woman with plenty of sand defended herself and her companion with a beat up ancient 22 single shot rifle and brought down a world record grizzly bear just paces before he made a meal of them.

Bella Twin, the .22 Used to Take the 1953 World Record Grizzly, and More

Thought people might get a kick out of it. A regular David and Goliath story.
