For me, a large part of that was shooting and marksmanship - is that still allowed in England?<br /><br />Well, moving back to Texas and rural ministry after ten years of working in the East Coast ghetto brought it all back.<br /><br />It's a grand thing to get out in the country under a big sky and be with people who're grounded in the realities of life. Some of that's being prepared to kill what you want to eat - thank you SBW - part of its the enjoyment of a shot well aimed and fired. Then again there's the freedom of it all; powerful medicine for mind and soul.<br /><br />So I guess my vote's in for Texas; been a blessing for me!LSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120630078039958644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-47342498152426780312009-05-27T18:19:13.167+01:002009-05-27T18:19:13.167+01:00Both ministers at the church I go to, here in Texa...Both ministers at the church I go to, here in Texas, are semi-retired cowboys and hunt and shoot. Friends I usually sit with, one is the leading gunsmith in the big city nearish-by + wife.<br /><br />More than once we've stood around after services discussing firearms and/or hunting. Ministers both mainly use .30-06s and gunsmith buddy is keen on .338s and .375s like I am.<br /><br />If somebody's missing on any given Sunday of those three folk, they're out hunting either hogs or deer, season dependent. Friend's wife is always there unless she has a sick horse.<br /><br />That's part of why I felt at home there the first time I went. Parable one of them told that I found useful that day was about a West Texas antelope hunt.<br /><br />And they were all hell raiser honky-tonkers when they weren't working 20 years ago in their cowboy days...not unlike your punk rocker friend, perhaps.<br /><br />We all pick guitars too and lead minister has a H&H .375 double too.<br /><br />Good gang of folk.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-79580543672297056342009-05-27T16:44:14.957+01:002009-05-27T16:44:14.957+01:00Time does have way of changing a lot of things.
