Michigan Gun Clubs
I've been doing a project since hunting season went out. Trying to visit all the little gun clubs that are scattered across S.E. Michigan. So far I've been to Detroit Gun Club, Birmingham Gun Club, Carleton Sportsman Club, and this weekend it's off to the Manchester Gun Club. Been some fun times for sure, met some interesting people too. Been shooting my big 34 inch Parker which always helps start conversation. Here's a few pics to show what I've been up to.
P.S. Those two old characters were really a pleasure to visit with, both Korean War veterans with tons of great shooting / hunting / fishing stories. The one on the right is a multi time Michigan State Trap Champion, shot on the All American Team, fished and hunted everywhere. The one on the left was General MacArthur's personal mechanic in Korea and even drove for him a few times. He was in charge of the early stock car racing program for Chrysler after he got home and also hunted / fished all over the US.
