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. I wish I was going to be there. I'd shoot a hole right straight through that ax handle and then laugh my ass off. 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.😂😂 Weeelll, on second thought, maybe I'll bring the new Kelly double I got at Ace hardware with a coupon. I'd hate to drive the steel wedge out the other end of the handle. But, then again, it would be a cool peace pipe?

I see John has all you folks hoodwinked perty good. The real reason he backed out is he said "I'll be dammmmed if I'm a gonna go there and let that young wippersnapper out shoot me in a bad way again!!" (Brace) That and he also said if I hafta spend 8 hours each way in the Cheby wiff Jerry again I'll shoot myself! Congratulations on finding your dream lake front home with a woman who is obviously visually challenged. we will miss you, espically since we aint that good of a shot. We will sell you some pictures at bulk rate price.

Good. That means all the more rattlers for us. Wait'll y'all see Joe Martin do his Indian snake dance in a pink tutu.

John, is that your roundabout way of inviting all of us to the wedding?
My other buddy, John, asked to bring him a Ratler back. His python ate one of his wife’s cats and choked. I figured it would be cool to put it in a fish tank on the kitchen counter. That way when Jay had breakfast ready, he could tap on the glass and make it rattle. Gary’s scream would wake every body up.

I may be able to attend. If I can come I'll have a photography trailer with me and can photograph rifles for the next book. I have some health problems so it's not definite yet that I'll be able to come. I should know next week. Does the cabin have electricity?

Electricity?? Bwahahaha. That area of Pennsylvania never heard of Edison and Tesla!
(Kidding, of course. There's more electricity at the camp than a man can use in a lifetime.)
