Bill I wish you had told me earlier (like befor I got there) that this was a shooting weekend NOT a check writing one. I missunderstood, wrote a couple of checks and did manage some shooting:whistle:

Another great time at Hausmanns and only two weeks befor its time to do it again for the U.P. shoot:bigbye:

I wrote one check in three days, had that one written within five minutes of entering the vendor tents on Friday. For the rest of the weekend, I maintained control.

Well C.O.B certainly didn't maintain control :rotf: And then the SOB sucked me in late Sunday (I was being good didn't even think about pulling out the checkbook) but no...Rich has to come along and the next thing I know I am going home with an English gun, How did that happen....:shock:

Must have been too much cash in your pocket! Sorry about that...

That helped but not enough.......:eek:

Is this one of the guns that followed either of you two home??

.

Yeap...:) I think that's C.O.B's gun.... Mine was on the other side.

It hasn't made it to Michigan yet as it needs a little trigger work. The Grouse will fall from the sky like rain when I enter the coverts with this jem of English craftmanship....Hell who am I kidding it will blow the leaves off the trees and shed bark just like the rest of them...but I will look good doing it:rotf:

Ahah!!.... So, that's the one you shot once, three times, at station one...

It is a pretty little thing.

To own a Holland & Holland has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. To finally be able to get one and in a small bore is iceing on the cake. Unfortunatly a couple of very nice Parkers had to leave the nest:crying:
