You have not seen it all, not by a long shot! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

A year ago I was working at my clubs rifle sight in clinic when a family of Hmong came over to the line one bench over from where I was working. There were 3 of them, an ancient man, a middle aged man who was probably his son, and another who must have been the grandson in his late teens/early twenties. The Middle aged man pulled out what I think was a very old Mosin Nagant and put it on the bench in front of the old man. No big deal the club member who was working the bench thought as we see a few mausers and Enfields every year that customers bring. To his suprise, the younger man produced an old scope, a short piece of wood and a roll of duct tape. The old man held the gun, the middle aged man held the scope on top of the piece of wood on top of the rifle, and the youngest member of the family proceeded to wrap duct tape around the entire scope and rifle. The club member at the bench was at wits end at this point and didn't knwo what to do. The old man fired a few shots which hit very low. They proceeded to unwrap the duct tape carefully, place a thin wooden shim under the rear of the scope and rewrapped it with the same tape. Amazingly enough, the bullets were on the paper now. The middle aged man adjusted the elevation and windage on the scope and the old man proceeded to shoot a very respectable group around the bullseye.

I have no doubt that this man got his deer last year, and probably gets his every year.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

Don't judge people by what they shoot or the price of their scope or gun. Not everyone can afford the best stuff not is everyone out to impress others. Not all hunters are 'gun guys' I would bet the majority of them use whatever tool they can get their hands on to allow them to partake in the yearly hunt.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?
