You guys crack me up! Sounds like it will be a great time. Wish I could be there and put faces with the names. There ought to be enough people on the west coast to have a get together. I nominate Fireball to ramrod it. Not enough people.

Besides, we're all busy homesteading and carving a living out of the wilderness.

can we critique the edge on that ax? Probably filed, stoned and then finished with a leather strap if I know Joe. It would probably shave the hair off your dry arse .

Then I'd have to rent a car so it would put me out like around $1000+. Well and if there is bourbon around, I'd be kicked off the forum There are two airports close to Gary and me. BWI and Hagerstown.. My BIL gets a round trip from Hagerstown to Myrtle beach for $99.If you could get a flight into either one of those, we can pick you up, put you up for a night, and ride up with us. Same on return. You're on your own there, Joe. I'm heading up through PA a couple days early and arriving home a couple days later. Giving the MG an overdue workout and myself an overdue vacation, far from the madding crowd. Planning some fly fishing along with Rendezvousing.

I'd come if you threw in shooting lessons and a guided bear hunt.

Gary, I'll be at my camp/clubhouse in the Catskills the week prior, if you'd like to stop by and stay a few days. We're right at the confluence of the Beaverkill and East Branch Delaware rivers, with the Willowemoc a stone's throw away. After we catch the evening hatch, and dinner in Roscoe, we can tear up the MG a bit, smoke some wacky tabacky and blast schit like Deep Purple, Space Truckin' and other '70s crap. When it's time to head to the rendezvous, Noxon is only an hour and 40 mins away. I'm gonna do all that schit anyway, with the exception of riding around in an MG, so you're more than welcome.

can we critique the edge on that ax? Yes you may, just take into consideration that is a custom grind for throwing. All of my other axes can be used for shaving at the end of the day.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Personally I'm glad I don't own an axe. This way I won't have to actually chop something.

Oh, did I forget to mention, I'm bringing a block of wood also. There will be two shiny Orange clay pidgeons to the right and left of my American Beauty Double. The first person to break both birds with one shot gets to keep the two Grants under the clay. Recommendation, bring a 38-55, might give you an edge over an HP. Unless Roy shows up. Then we will let him shoot first and find his own ride home.

Edit: I'm laughing just thinking about it....

Edit: I'm laughing just thinking about it.... Not as difficult a feat as you might imagine. Consider that the target you're actually shooting at is twice the diameter of the bullet. Ie: if a .308 bullet is used you can be off as much as almost .300" on either side of the blade edge- it only takes the tiniest of slivers to break the balloon on the opposite side of the blade from the main chunk of the bullet. That adds up to a target .6" wide. Not terribly difficult with an accurate rifle. I would still rather laugh along with Randy after he shattered Joe's axe handle with a .300 Savage.😂😂
