TRAP SHOOTING
May 1st, 2009
Yep, it’s springtime even in the mountains
of northcentral Idaho . . . and that’s a time a young man’s
fancy turns to . . . shoot, we can’t even remember the answer
to that. But it is the time old men’s fancy turns to gun shows
and golf. We enjoyed a little of both. Had a great time at the Big
Reno Gun Show. It was a good time to visit old friends, make new ones,
and watch everyone in 11 western states cart off case after case of
ammo.
Actually, we sold good guns . . . bought some beauties and h
ad
wonderful time. Of course, we had to stop and play the Paradise Valley
Country Club and Enviosafe Refuse Disposal Site (the Sahara Course)
north of STEVE in the greenside bunker at #12 Winnemucca, Nevada.
JIM (Lefty) on #4 (Hey, wilderness golf is where you find it.) The
sand traps were awesome . . . what kind of trap shooting did you think
we were talking about?
In case you were wondering: . . . YES . . . collecting old Winchesters
is still the most fun hobby in the world. YES . . . there are some
good buys out there. YES . . . people are buying quality guns. YES
. . . they are still a good investments. And YES . . . we have new
ones posted in our gun catalog.
JUST IN CASE YOU’VE MISSED IT . . . make sure you sign up for
our almost weekly GUN TIPS newsletter. You can send Steve your email
addy (stevebly@connectwireless.us) or just use the box on this page.
As most of you know, we are just a couple of collectors, and we don’t
get this web site updated nearly as often as we should. SO . . . the
latest news is found in the almost weekly GUN TIPS. We have news,
features, and the newest gun acquisitions posted there.
For those of you wanting replacement screws for your old Winchesters,
be sure and check Jim’s price list, under PARTS LIST below.
We’ll be at the Colorado Gun Collector’s Annual Show in
Denver, May 16th & 17th (at the Merchandise Mart, just north of
downtown off of I-25). Then we’ll be in Cody, Wyoming, on June
19-21 at the Winchester Arms Collector’s Association show. If
you get to either show, make it a point to come by and visit a while.
You’ll spot us easy enough . . . we’ll be the two guys
who are laughin’, talkin’ too loud, and havin’ a
great time.
Remember to kiss the wife, hug the kids, and “seek ye first
the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 6:33)
on the springtime trail in northcentral Idaho . . . . . . Steve &

TAPADERA’S
N-35 & N-35B (brown) GUNSTOCK STAIN
Wipe on – wipe off. It’s that simple!
Extremely quick drying. We got tired of products that don’t work,
won’t dry, come out the wrong
color . . . so we concocted our own. Your old Winchester will look great
again! Repeat the process for darker colors. Let it dry before buffing
for darkest color. You can apply oil and/or varnish over it as you choose.
It will take varnish, boys. One bottle will do several guns. It comes
in 2 oz. amber glass bottle.
$10 per bottle plus $5 shipping/handling, priority mail.
