| Since joining Enfield-Rifles.com and Milsurps.com I've found three other shooters within a short drive from my house. SW28fan who convinced me to join his very excellent range in Haltom City, and whom I've met a few times, tango-papa from Milsurps.com lives a scant 15 minutes from me and is a fan of .22 training rifles as I so we're planning a meet-up and lastly '03collector who lives closest of all, only a 10 minute drive although I haven't had reason to communicate with him yet. |

If you make it to Paddy's I'm just over the bridge on Md's Eastern Shore. A tad over 200 miles away as the crow flies. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

But worth every inch of it if you call ahead so I can crank up the smoker. Hot sauce & Marmalade BBQ'd porker! Heck I' supply free beer if you drag Paddy & his folks up for a get together.  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

| A trip to the East Coast is not out of the question, one of my brothers lives in Kissimmee, Fl and has been pestering me to come out and visit him. We also have a previously undiscovered 1/2 sister who lives near Niagara Falls that I've never met so a trip up the Eastern seaboard is a possibility. |
