I'm happy to see you fine people gaining some gun rights. Now as our nation(US)becomes more urban we must constantly fight to keep ours. Perhaps in the future Russian sportsman will have an organization like our NRA to bring all sportsman into one voice. I once saw in a gun magazine a shotgun made in Russia that was like a Purdey. The article didn't say who actually built the gun but I must say that it was beautiful. It would be nice to see a sporting arms industry in Russia building these types of arms. My wife tells me that her father in Belarus owns a rifle. This was a suprise for me. For my wife a rifle and a shotgun are the same. She told me that in Belarus they have Pheasant. The land certainly does look like it could support pheasant but I'm not sure if she knows what she is talking about. Does HD or Geno know for sure? I would have to think that in Russia and especially in Belarus there would be many hidden guns that were picked up by the retreating Nazis in WW2. I understand that even today it is a problem finding unexploded bombs by children around the country side. HD and Geno,do you have any national sporting publications in Russia devoted to hunting and/or sport shooting there?
