I appreciate the invite Harold, I might do it.
I love old gun club pins and patches, so I've been trying to visit ones that I've got "stuff" from in my collection. It was customary in the old days for a trap shooter to wear the pins and patches from clubs they had visited on their shooting jacket / hat.
I've been collecting that stuff for years. Have an old school trap shooting jacket being made at the tailor right now for patches and a new 40's style fedora on custom order for my nicer pins. Now I just gotta visit enough clubs to fill them both up. It's off to the Manchester Gun Club this week so I can add their pin to my hat.
