Default Simple Joys.....

I've discussed my obsession with owning patches and pins from gun clubs I've shot at many times. I recently made it to Sandanona and they had not one souvenir for sale other than coffee mugs. I was aware there was a pin from way back before Orvis owned it but I never dreamed I'd ever find one. Then lo and behold one popped up for sale on Facebook of all places for the glorious sum of $35. The simple joys oftentimes are the best.

I certainly enjoyed shooting there.

Super nice find!

Out of curiosity Destry. Do you know if your hat guy that made the really cool shot-bag hat for you is taking orders for making hats again?

He's not doing any cap work right now that I'm aware of.
