Bit of an epilogue to that story...
Since then the Young Gun has been shooting a lot.
He is damned good with both rifles and scatterguns.
In fact he quite often shows many up that are much older / more experienced than he when at the range.
And of course is itching to get hunting for another wall hanger...
Around a year ago the True North Forum held a raffle for a custom 6.5 x 55 Mauser 96.
By some odd stroke of luck, I won it.
Been toying with just what to do with it ever since.
Today I made that decision, and Paid It Forward:
The look on his face says it all...
The cast will be off his leg early next week.
He has promised to get practiced and be ready for when we roll up-Island.
His Pa & I are scheming...
There will be more to the tale soon methinks...
'Tis a very fine day to be alive!!
Cheers,
Nog
