First 3 shots at 50 yards from the first Crockett Rifle. I didn't bother to adjust the sights to go after a bear! This gun took a 400 plus pound Arkansas black bear!
"I had by this time got to be very fond of the rifle, and had bought a capital one. I most generally carried her with me wherever I went, and where they shoot for beef." This quote from A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of the State of Tennessee, page 50, by David Crockett.

THE CAYWOOD REPRODUCTION OF DAVid CROCKETT'S FIRST GUN!
With all fully engraved furniture, sterling silver thumbpiece, and extensive relief carving, this is a gun of great historic importance. I was allowed to completely dis-assemble the original gun at the East Tennessee Historical Society Museum in Knoxville. It was an honor and thrill to hold this heirloom of American history knowing that David Crockett had carried and shot this very firearm.
This gun is built exactly as it was when it was handed to David!
