Welcome from the Rolling Plains of Texas, ma'am. Related to Carlos Gove! I'm impressed. Gove and Freund Brothers were the two serious gunsmiths in Colorado back in the day.

Thank you, yes, it is an honor and learning more and more about him all the time.

Welcome from New York State's Central-Leatherstocking region.

If that is your rifle gorgeous. I have shot a friends C. Gove rifle but can't afford to bid or buy want wish I had one but that is the way it goes. Have a replica of his Peacepipe hawk hanging on my wall.

You are over by Akron, while I'm 70 miles NNW of Columbus. You are lucky; not far from Jim Kimber's shop. Brilliant young fellow who makes building a nice longrifle a lot easier for many of us.

In the ML arena, remember to take things slow and enjoyable. Our "sport" is a replay of a slower paced time, and we should respect even that portion of the former times.

And there are literally hundreds of kindred souls here to assist you along the smokey blue haze.

That is fine Tech is the way to go with the way our future is heading so I think it was a smart move.

Sent and paid for my daughter to go to Hocking College back in 1993 she is not doing was she degreed in and she apologized to us for wasting our money. I said it wasn't a waste you experience education, friends and a life away from ho.e. something I didn't get to do. I told her it did give you skills to use in future job positions. So it wasn't a waste. The future is not the same direction it was 50 years ago. Now getting the chance to enjoy life is the problem no longer love and peace lol. Good luck and nice chatting with you .

Yes it is 20 minutes away. My husband and I even set up our Kiowa Style tipi for Log Cabin Spring and Fall rendezvous, which they no long do they now host a Trade Faire. We go every year to that as walk ins. We know Liza and some of the gun makers and staff there.
Great place and they are a donor to our Kill' Um Buck Longrifles Beaver Rendezvous. Hubby President and daughter vice president of KUB.
Do you rendezvous or shoot?

I don't do rendevous, but I do like to shoot. I'm in the process of building my fourth rifle now taking gun building classes at the cabin.
