Ken, now you have to provide something worthy. Your son is very lucky! :-)

Mr. Hurst,
I had a bad start to the day this morning. Sunny when I left home, heavy rain when I got to work. Stopped to buy milk for my coffee, got ticketed for parking too near a junction (I was on a by-road, it was just 08.00!)
Then I booted my computer, logged on to read this BB while the coffee brewed, saw the strange topic heading and scrolled through the posts. Then on reading your post I smiled, cheered up and faced the day in much better humour.
It is sad indeed when the political ravings of the bigoted run to about 2300 hits on a shooting forum, an ill-mannered grumpy old curmudgeon has to query the tusks on a warthog gets 800 and a beautiful gesture like yours is seen by only 300.

Thank you for your gesture to that young shooter, a person who has your skills and artistry, and who is willing to do what you have offered, is special indeed and his presence more than cancels out the negativity and the rantings of some on this board.

Mr. Hurst, Having seen the quality of your work here, your offer of a free engraving job to help whet the interest of a young shooter has me wondering how you could only have a four star rating here. Thats a ten star gesture in my book.

Thanks all --- nah Mr. Keith, no stars needed. I get a great deal of satisfaction knowing how tickled this young man will be & his braging rites to his friends. You just know he'll be top dog on the local totem pole to his friends. And besides, this is a God given talent & I don't think it hurts to donate something here & there every once in a while. Ken
