Winter blues
« on: November 23, 2018, 05:33:53 PM »
By the time Feb rolls around, I'm usually getting a case of cabin fever and am itching to get out of the house. I think I'm going to try this event this year:https://mariettamuseums.org/events/contemporary-gunmakers-allied-artists-show-2/
Might be a good break for you Hillbillys, Buckeyes, and Kentuckians.

I think I'm catching the Winter blues already, Hank. I'm setting here drinking coffee and holding my half'stock .45 flintlock rifle and thinking to myself,,,,, "what can I do to you (this rifle) to make you more user friendly and shoot center every time I shoulder you?????" It ain't answering me yet..... :Doh!



That ought to be a fun event, Hank. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.  :bl th up

Joe, lately, I don't think I'm on speaking terms with any of my rifles.

I'm only half an hour away from Marietta, I believe I will go to that shindig!  Thank you, Hank.  :toast
