Default Met some great guys last weekend

I had the privilege of meeting several fellow AOF members this past weekend ~ bighornram99 (Red Deer), James Henry (Calgary) & Glockster (Calgary). All were a pleasure to meet, and real gentlemen to do business with. One thing that truly impressed me was their commitment to their kids and their enthusiasm to pass along their passion for hunting & shooting to their families. It was so refreshing to meet parents like this group, who have not abdicated their (parental) responsibilities to television, video games or the internet. Not only are they passing along their experiences and knowledge, but also engendering a true respect for the shooting sports and our natural resources. Gentlemen, hats off to you and keep up the good work !! It was truly an honour and a privilege to meet you all ~ Nigel.

Thumbs up AO Members


Over the past two years I've met quite a few members of this forum.

So far, I've never been disappointed ... all good people!
