Thread: A trip to remember and an appointment missed,

Hi @grandpamac,
I remember Ron Pink and a few others. I was in the junior deerstalkers Napier branch. One early trip Ron produced a snider and gave us all a shot. I so remember the explosive boom and cloud of smoke, and that was over 50 years ago. Its hard not to have a fascination with early rifles as I was surrounded by them and have had many over the years.
As I write this I am waiting on a new second hand rifle Ive been wanting for some time. [Vixon .222]. I shoot deer with the camera way more than the rifle these days.
Jack O was a very good friend to my father and our family, and a trip or two to Ngatapa [Te Kooti Station] and also when Jack and Ginny were rabbiters at Ngamatea were also inspirational.
