Just as long as it's not shiny.

If you like it, great. But one time I took a ghillied setup out for a walkabout and made the mistake of setting it down and walking up a ridge to peek around. Guess what? I couldn't find the effing thing for 15 minutes, and almost stepped on it when I finally did.

Lesson one: Don't let go of a camoed rifle. Or camoed anything.

So I don't have any camoed guns any more. And I've been thinking if I ever do a camo job again, I'll make sure there are day-glo orange spots all over it (they look white to most creeturs). But my guns ARE matte, no shiny.


Up hills slow,
Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.
