June, 2008
I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who continue to make my web site and the Steyr and Savage scout rifle sites such a success.
The number of visitors to my sites continues to grow beyond my wildest expectations. This site passed 297,000 visits and the Steyr Scout site has passed 273,000. I continue to get so many messages from folks all around the world congratulating me for my efforts, as to boggle a humble frog's mind. I've heard from archeologists, ballisticians, clergymen, doctors, forensic technologists, gourmets, lawyers, peace officers, scientists, soldiers, students, teachers, writers, and shooters of all levels of experience, and even an occasional cat and dog (well at least E-mails from the cats' administrative assistants).
I've received correspondence from Afghanistan, Argentina, Austria, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Guatemala, India, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the UK. Hopefully I've spread some knowledge and provoked some thought. I thank all of you who have written me with questions, ideas, and updates, to share your interests or faith, to point out typos, or just to share kind words. I'm glad to have been of some small assistance to you. I value your friendship and I wish you the best.

I have been asked by several correspondents why I so freely share my shooting and other knowledge with others--or for that matter why I try so hard to answer all E-mail inquiries. Well, it's a simple answer. When I was a youngster I was blessed by having adult friends and relatives who answered my incessant questions about everything, showed me what was what, and in general educated me in the "mysteries" of various subjects. This is simply my way of thanking them for their patience and kindness. Remember: The only dumb question is one not asked!
Thanks for dropping by! See you 'round the pond.
And remember:
"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." -- Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

Wishing you a Happy New Year.
