I didn't get many pics on my whirlwind tour of Hausmann's today, but I did get a few. My son shot much better than I did today, and even beat me on one shooting station, and also on one round of 5 stand. I told him that now that he can outshoot me he needs to start buying his own ammo. I run so hot and cold it is ridiculous. We had a great time as usual, and I was amazed at how many people were in attendance whom I saw last month in Michigan at Lapeer. It really is a small community of enthusiasts isn't it?


Contemplating lead for the next station no doubt;


"At the ready;"


"On target," CJ broke 4 of 6 at this station, the last one over the water.


Our obligatory posed shot in our shooting vests. You will notice the nice new Hausmann's hat on the boy, young Mr. Hausmann gave it to CJ when he saw us in line to register.

Sorry, Dad, he's just going to get better. And no matter what, you're on the hook for the ammo for the next few innings. You can put him on the reloader cranking out the practice rounds(I did with mine--helps develop the old work ethic), but you're the wallet bearer, as well as shooter, on this particular safari.

Enjoy your times together! They'll be some of your best memories. His, too.

Chaz,

I'm glad you and your son had a great time, I actually remember seeing you both together at one point in the day. It was my first time attending and it was a great day.

On a purely coincidental note, in your last photo my Black Dodge Ram is over your son's shoulder, but that is not me in the picture.

It was my third time and it was a great experience once again. Fun on the hunter clays course and other shooting events. The action and things to see inside and outside the tent were first rate. Lots of dealers with fine guns for sale and interesting displays by collectors associations. Among them was one of the finest collections ever put together of very high grade Lefevers with multiple Optimus, AA and special order guns on the tables. On Friday the heat was very ugly and as a result I spent more time enjoying looking at the guns and talking with the vendors in the tent.

Hi Hoof,

Thanks for the ride to the far corner of the parking field where you offered to run my wife's boyfriend over.
What was that wooden cabinet thing in the back of your cart?

Dean

Not a problem, it was nice meeting you.

That is actually a stand alone gun cart that I got when I still shot cowboy action. It has an axle and large spoked wheels to add when it isn't riding on the golf cart. The nice thing about it is that it is all flat pieces held together with pins, so it will break down to fit in a car trunk.

Pretty neat gun caddy.

Good to meet you too.
