Chuck while you are here, I don't suppose you made it to Grand Junction this year due to the Championship being closed to visitors due to Covid? Your report last year (I think it was last year?) was great!

When Kerrs went out of business,my friend and mentor,Don Criswell bought 5 Winchester model 21 20gauge barreled actions from them. Kerr would order the guns without stocks or forends and custom stock them for his customers. It must have been quite a shop.

Hey Reggie
We did not get to Ames this year. I had a dog running with Mike Tracy at Union Springs AL at the Shooting Dog Nat. and they cross over..... The Rona B.S. shut down most of it.... Hope you are well!!!! Girls win!!!!!

BTW
John Allen, My friend, is spot on! Rich's gun was originally fitted with a very different stock pattern from a "G" Parker.... Kerrs was the place to buy guns.. pre-communist California. John also lives within a close spin over to Ames and hunts the hallowed grounds of Mr. Nash..

Chuck, you are the man. Your experience with your pointers is what I want to have in my next life. The guns are great, but the dogs are what it's all about. By the way, I believe Kenny Barnes shot the first four by four in NSSA skeet. He is the only person to have shot a 4X4 with pump guns, three Model 12s and a Model 42. A great bird hunter also. By the way, I have moved four miles to the east and can't see your spread from my upper deck any more. I hope to see you at the Southern.

I used to shoot with Don occasionally. Bought a nice BHE from him. I haven't heard anything about Don for some time. Any updates?
