I think most members of classic side-by-side collector groups know that our future success and the continuation of the passion we all have for these guns lies in our bringing young folks into the fold and let them shoot and enjoy them no matter which factory they came from.
And I was pretty surprised that Bill’s new ad for the Spring Southern at Deep River has a picture of the kids who participated in last year’s American Classic Youth Shoot but not a word about it appears anywhere in the ad.
Don’t you all find that a bit strange too?
