I think you hit the nail on the head. It's a passion for product. That makes all the difference in the world. I suppose that's why gunsmiths and gun-makers are still in business: I don't think any of them get rich doing what they're doing. Those I know are in it because they love what they're doing. I could be wrong about that, but I just don't seem many of them flying in company jets and sponsoring NASCAR.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
