John,

What are the specs on those new Ahrends? What kind of wood is that? Can't wait to see what they look like on the Model 18!! They look fabulous!

Also, can't help but reiterate the importance of ear (and even more importantly) eye protection ESPECIALLY when shooting at hard objects such as golf balls that will most certainly induce ricochets in any and all directions. Having been hit in the face by bullet fragments myself, it really reaffirms that glasses can make the difference between a minor cut and permanent blindness.
