    Fort Sumter

    According to my wife’s family history her great great grandfather fired the first shot at Fort Sumter. I believe it has been proven untrue but supposedly he got drunk and fired at a union ship with his musket. His name was Col. Ruffin

    I had a Krylon sales rep give me around 300 cans of defective spray paint to destroy. Fun to watch it go up, around and about everywhere. Really fun targets.
