They were still trying to squeeze every point out of their cards. Now we are wine tasting so I’ll have a look at their cards later.So......
Who Won?
Youth = give me a quality gun and I’ll handle the rest. Old dude = what kind of barrel is on these guns? Which one do you think is built better? Then he made his choice. Funny thing is if you think about it, we see it here every day.
Awesome story BBoy! Beautiful Rapid you built himNice story
slightly off topic but when my grandson Toby was 5 years old he underwent an 11 hour operation to remove a tumour the size of a lemon from his brain. After this he was not allowed to take part in any sports of leisure activities that could result in a fall, so to keep him occupied I set one of my pcp’s to shoot a 9fpe and taught him to shoot, each visit he spend hours plinking in the garden where he became a really good shot.
During one of his plinking sessions he asked if I would buy him a gun, I replied as soon as you get the all clear from the doctors I will happily buy you one.
When he was 12 years old (after years of treatment ) he came to see me and said “do you remember you promised to buy me a gun when I got the all clear, well you owe me a gun” for me this was the best gift I could ever think of getting
After building him the gun, we both joined a shooting club where we would both go each weekend. One weekend his dad joined us at the range. The range had many different types of target but his favourite were the knock down type used in FT so he challenged his dad (who has only shot a few times) to a competition. Toby went first hitting every target out to 50yards, resetting to target each time by pulling the string. Next up was his dad, first shot miss, next shot miss, next shot miss, the more misses he did, the more angry he got and the more Toby would laugh. Dad was convinced he was hitting the kill zone but the targets stayed still, it was only then I realised what was happening, as we moved from target to target Toby was picking up the string and pulling, preventing to target from falling
He is now 17, 6ft 3” fit as a butcher’s dog and plays rugby for good local team
Here he is with the gun I made him (he wanted a purple shroud)
