Met an ICON

This happened back in September. I just saw a YouTube video he made and mentioned he was going to be at gun shop in Bowling Green, the next day. I figured I had better get up there and meet him, because between his age and my age, I doubt I'd ever get the chance again.

Before anyone asks, he broke his right leg, just above the ankle a week before the Meet and Greet. That's why he's sitting.

You look like you’ve lost some weight amigo. You still look like a garden gnome, just thinner.

Very nice! I'm willing to bet most of us on this board don't gush over celebrities, in the shooting industry or otherwise, but it's still cool to meet folks like that in person.

About 35 pounds, need to drop at least another 25. You should see me with my pointy hat.

Watch some of his videos. He likes to "smoke" a little pot, while testing a new gun.

Hey Enzo. Yep, it's been a minute. Something happened to the FB page so I thought I'd slide back in here.

Thank y'all. "Looking good" compared to what, I do not know.

Yes it was cool. I'm glad he stayed sitting. He's 6'9" tall. Trying to get a pic of us together, in the same frame, would have been problematic.

Ha! I got thrown out of FB. To rough on their vaginal sensibilities. Haven’t missed it much.

Glad to see you here brother.

I don't watch his videos often, never saw the pots for target practice. Good to see you posting hey.

Thank you, bro. I think I'll drop by, now and then.

That’s cool!! We had some industry guru at the shop the other day one of the young employees was all but asking him out on a date. Star struck and following him around, the guy was eating it up too. The guru introduced himself and stuck his hand out intesponded the same. He seemed a bit perplexed why I didn’t join in on the fan worship……

Anybody who gets kicked off of facebook can't be all bad! Congratulations and good riddance! :mrgreen:
