Congratulations! Great looking little guy, and great photo. He's got that "natural born killer" look about him.

Don't rush into buying him his first gun. Sometime next week is plenty early enough.

Lets not waste time. I will send you a contract out today for a 21 day full bag safari, for let's say 2026. He will be 15 then and ready. If you start saving about 10 k a year starting yesterday, that should just about cover it by then !!!!
Seriously though, good for you. A big day indeed !

Congratulations Mike!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Excellent, Mike. Now have you had Jordan fitted for his first double? May I suggest the 450-400 3 1/4!

Congratulations Mike and Cherie...that boy will grow up in the enviroment of a fine Grandfather and Grandmother. Ok so his length of pull is short for the moment but I'm sure we can find a gun that will fit him... Smiler
