Man, that's almost in a whole other country!

Some day perhaps, I'll get a chance to see that collection. Enjoy your show.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Thanks etrain!
We are going to do a smaller show ... Taking only about 12-15 guns and no bows or much of our smaller accoutrements... Both of us are feeling a bit under the weather.

I still think we will have a interesting hands on display and hope some of you all there.

A big thank you to The Brandt Foundation and Holiday Sports / Skagit Arms for inviting us down today.
Everybody on staff was very welcoming and friendly.

I had the pleasure to meet EPS ... He is a very nice guy ... Observant and asked some great questions.

We did a smaller show today about half of what we usually put out ...
I think it was well received.
Lots of new folks to talk to .... Many of which have never really seen a muzzle loader or even any gun before.
Nice to talk guns with a new person and hand them a 200 year old rifle and have them ask questions...
