No... He WILL love it.  :)

Trust me when I say this............
 He will pop in and  be there every single time each of us shoots our target.
And he will be dragging a few of his buddies from the other side to watch and brag. ;D

They ( on the other side) do so love it when there is a celebration or event to attend 'here'..


This was a great idea..
Haven't heard back from Sonja yet..
I e-mailed her.. Don't know if she got it.. Sent it with a receipt attached..but so far nothing. Hope she is okay.

Tom..since she has answered you before, would you please e-mail her and have her get back with me?
Thanks...

Definitely in here, too.
Printed targets, but got busy and never made it to the range before getting tied up cleaning a 9 point deer my son killed.
Maybe later this week.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
