Rifle & Accoutrements


40 cal rifle by Roy & Tom Stroh, powder horn by Jeff Bottiger, primer horn by Harris Maupin, turkey bone powder measure by Steve Skillman, knife by Brian Anderson; everything else by me except the wingbone turkey call. Buckeye for good luck from my friends in Missouri, the Fennewalds.
