Gotta agree Bob.
I suspect there certainly is something to that "too pretty to shoot" business.

Man works and works and works an ends up with a real qualifying Wall Hanger, doesn't seem right in one way.
However, if you look at the majority of the beautiful specimens that has survived for so many years, you have to think the same thing, and that is likely the reason we do see so many with beautiful markings in such great shape, to me and you and the average Joe, they were simply too pretty to take out and beat and bang around in the dirt.

There is no doubt in my mind but what Captchee has built one of those, no matter how well it shoots.
And, there is little doubt but what it will shoot.

Well done my old friend!  :bow
