The best thing is, my wife being girly, thought it was a great gift. I was floored. She knows I needed a good knife. Already have a spot in the garage and the materials to test my skills or lack there of, Thanks scgstuff - nice....

Nice, when we were in Afghanistan my buddy ordered a set of throwing knives to play around with, we all sucked but by the end of the deployment he was almost ready to start performing live lol. He started spray painting little dots and hitting exactly where he wanted 99% of the time.

I have a pair of those gloves you use when say using a mandolin, steel mesh so you want cut yourself, she is making me wear those my first few attempts LOL

Wow aside from what's pictured (which truly is more than enough to be a great gift) he also made a generous donation to the PTSD foundation. I am humbled sir, you brought a big smile to my face and thank you very much. You the man Scott!

You sir, are most welcome. Package 2 should hopefully arrive today if Bud's didn't cancel my order again.

Received package number 2 from Ben. I came home too tipsy from red wine to snap pics, etc. damn holiday parties. Ben you are way too kind sir!!! Pics to follow, hopefully this evening. In typical Ben fashion, he has outdone himself. He got 2 different Sinclair adapters for shooting from a benchrest. One for a rifle forearm, the other is picatinny for AR platforms.

Great story!!! Wish I would have included a set of those in the care package for my cousin stationed in Korea. Sent him enough cigars for him and his 150 closest friends. Lol. I've done this the last few years on a few cigar forums I visit and get a kick out of the response.

In fact, next years Secret Santa needs to have a troop donation box we build up and send to someone overseas.

Could we get the folks who were in a unit, or have family in service toss the units name in a hat? Then we could randomly Santa bomb them?

Great ideas! I'm in!

Count me in.

Received package number 2...

I'm hoping you have a proper rest and bags. If not, remind me and I'll bring them to Gatesville next time.

Most shooters have no idea how much easier it is to get good groups with proper bench equipment. A pile of sandbags or a rifle rested over a backpack from prone are examples of improvisation and can work fairly well but real testing is much easier with proper equipment.

Just as an FYI for anybody waiting on something via FEDEX.
I had a package scheduled for Wednesday (yesterday) delivery, & NO location update between Sunday
& last night, now shows scheduled for Friday (tomorrow) delivery.

 

[TXDARKHORSE361]

Package #2 arrived, I say again Scott you have truly made my Christmas.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Tis the season Daryl. Merry Christmas and thank you for making me aware of the PTSDUSA folks. Doesn't shock me at all that you give your time to such an awesome organization.

Well, when it was the funniest present ever, and it was in my possession, I think I can.

 

[Glockster69]

So you can just Executive Order all willy nilly like? There should be checks n balances.
