Duck Dynasty.

[starmac]

I watched the previews and the old man is shooting left handed with a right handed shotgun. What gives, I thought these guys are rich??? lol

[Garyshome]

Do you believe everything you see on tv? I DO!

[starmac]

Well sure, but I only watch Duck Dynasty and NCIS, I don't watch any of that fake stuff. lol

A "rich" guy doesn't stay that way by spreading it around!

Could be the shotgun is special to him.

[DIRT Farmer]

The 10-22 he was squrriel hunting with looked like it had wintered in the swamp. He could just be comfortable with what he has.

[shooter2]

I think he's been shooting the same A5 for most of his life. It works for him.

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

I dont watch the show that often, but the one thing I notice over the years, the only thing they spent money on
was camo and vehicles :)

Being rich doesn't require you to be spendthrift. Frugality is a virtue.

I could afford a left-handed gun but I'm used to right-handed bolts now.

I know some guys who would buy the newest, fanciest, and most expensive just as a status symbol.

I'm a believer in " If it feels right and shoots where I point it, then I'll keep it no matter how it looks".

[DeadWoodDan]

still waiting for them to shoot some ducks....

I worked for a multi millionaire who used his incoming mail envelopes as scratch paper, even to the extent of opening them up from all 4 sides.

Many times the rich got that way by saving money in various ways.

[DeanWinchester]

This is the reason I'm inclined to believe Phil Robertson is the real deal. He's a bona fide millionaire. Yet, he lives in a modular double wide house, shoots weathered A-5's, handi rifles and the like. Once in a while he will shoot a nicer Benelli (sponsor!)
His boats are ragged and well worn like most everything he has. He's happy (happy happy) so why change? I mean how easy could he afford to contract with Holland & Holland to build him some shotguns? He could drop a half million on a couple of them and never miss it. You'll probably never see him near one.

[jmort]

I have complete respect for someone like Phil. Sam Walton was the same way.

[Bent Ramrod]

We're too used to "Lifestyles of Rich, Idle Celebrities." Seeing normal people living normal lives on TV is a shock.

It looks like Phil has the family values thing working to the third generation anyway. None of those grandkids are spoiled brats and when one of them got to driving age, they looked for a good used pickup truck (at a low price) for him. If they were the kind of family that shows up in People magazine all the time, they'd have bought him a Ferrari and told him to quit bothering them.

They're not into guns as conversation pieces or collectors' items. They're tools to be used.

[dbosman]

Phil still uses the razor his father gave him. It's a bit dull after all these years.

[Taylor]

I am right handed,left eye dominate.I shoot long gun left handed,have no desire to own or shoot a left handed rifle,it would be "wrong " for me.

[GOPHER SLAYER]

I have seen episodes where the men were duck hunting. All of them were good shots.

[jcwit]

I bet most everything that family owns is paid for with no monthly trips to the bank.

[blackthorn]

The old man may live in a double wide --- the boys----not so much! Have you all noticed the houses they live in?? I do like the show though, great entertainment!

[762 shooter]

The DD guys have been shooting ducks on TV and VHS since the nineties. Another moneymaker to promote their calls. I think if you watch an old hunting episode and compare it to one now they haven't changed much if any.

They are Happy Happy Happy all the way to the bank. More power to them. They know they will probably fade to obscurity, I really don't think they care.

Second duck call I ever bought was a duck commander about 85-86. A guy gave me his and said it was terrible. He had taken it apart. I had the box mine came in so I called. Phil answered the phone. I told him of the issue with the call. About 10 minutes and had it working just as good as mine. The conversation switched to fishing and we talked for a other 10-15 minutes.
I have called them a few times since and sent a few calls back to be tuned up. Always the nicest folks to deal with. Even got a few Christmas post cards from them off and on over the years.

About the boys, one of them (Willy I think) made his money in the lottery

[skeettx]

My wife and I went to school (college) with Phil, he is the real deal.
Louisiana Tech '69 and '71.

i'm a lefty and have never shot a lefty firearm in my life.

[starmac]

I am a righty that shoots lefty, while I don't mind shooting right handed rifles, I am not crazy about semi auto right handed shotguns or side lock muzzleloaders.

I usually used double barrel shotguns, but just traded for another pump. We will see how I wind up liking it, would have probably liked an ithaca M37 better.

Now that is a funny one!!
