Send Horner75 a PM. I live close enough to him to see his work firsthand before it hits here. You would be ahead of the game, trust me.

He asked the club I belong to here if anyone would like to learn to scrim. I jumped at the chance! He is also one helluva nice guy too!

Much appreciate the offer! I'd LOVE to do that, ran the idea past my lovely bride and she brot me back down to earth rather quick, long story short, prob aint gonna happen. We just made a long trip to Texas so funds are somewhat depleated at this time and w/ the holidays approaching... ya know the drill. I'd so love to get together w/some fellow trad ML'ers and burn powder-n-throw lead!! Scott

Rick, I gave that lady her horn and bag today. While holding it she started to cry profusely. She couldn't get over someone had made that and she now owned it. The brass wire she really loved. Thats why the words, Rick. Now someone else owns a small piece of you too! :hatsoff:
