Franchi - Sintonia Naturale: This month we want to share an exciting letter from a young Tuscan hunter, which has reached us. The 19-year-old hunter writes the following to us.
Finally after many years of walking and an ever growing passion, but never satisfied (I don't understand why in some countries you can hunt at 16 and in Italy not) I managed to go hunting with my beloved Brick, a white orange setter 5 years old.
The day was not purely autumnal, it was a little warm, but the sky was a beautiful blue. As soon as I arrived at the hunting site I took my rifle, a Affinity cal. 20, which my father gave me two weeks ago, I freed the dog and left. Although I have seen and walked these fields hundreds of times, that day everything seemed different to me.
No voice, just the sound of nature waking up and the sweet sound of Brick running, in and out of the bushes. Nothing happened for the first hour. Then suddenly Brick stops moving. At that point I didn't understand anything anymore: I got excited, agitated, I didn't know what to do anymore. Yet it was a scene seen over and over again!
I tried to rearrange my ideas and approached Brick to guide him and let the wild go. After a few seconds this happened: the pheasant left, I fired but click: I forgot to remove the safety.
Some will laugh, others will make fun of me, but despite the misfire, I will always remember this moment and the first day that me, Brick and my rifle went hunting together: pure emotion.
All projects Franchi we believe this guy's feelings have exactly mirrored our concept of Natural Tuning, then after asking for authorization, we feel proud to publish this letter and proud to have been part of such an important moment!
