shovel leaner 7,650 Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 I was at a shoot last week and there was a wreath on the door to the shoot lodge. I thought that’s nice , I will make my own . A trip up to the grave yard and found a wreath frame on the compost heap. I collected some 28 bore cartridges and set about drilling them and cable tying them to the frame , a couple of fancy decorations and voila, a wreath fit for any shooting man’s front door . Then the sister in law comes around and says “ you are advertising to the world that you have guns “ . Now my wife wants it down . But I’m digging my heels in . What do you think ? Up or down ? 5 Quote Link to post
Stavross 15,172 Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Stick to your guns, so too speak, I think it’s looks spot on and we should be proud of what we do, I can bore the pants off anyone who will listen to me about what guns I own, everyone around here knows I shoot because I’ll often be dragging deer or birds out the car, when we first moved here I felt I had to explain to Keith next door what I did because he said “ you come and go at all hours” ( he’s a proper nosy bugger, if a parcel gets dropped off at his if I’m not in he’ll ask me what it is before handing it over) I think he thought I was a drug dealer 1 3 Quote Link to post
