Nice family

Here is an old family photo from last year. Some are no longer with us and new ones have been added...one of these days I need to take a new one.

Excellent pictures you two!!!! I love the Smith sign!!! Did you have that Laser cut?
 
Very nice.

I am amazed at some of the collections here.

I have one or two, but nothing special. No family photo either:(.
 
WG28,

Nice collection and I appreciate the fact that some of those guns have a personal connection to you. For the rest of you .... you know how I love family pictures!

Regards,

Jerry
 
D Mark-


You need to introduce the 5" & 6"er's to a couple of pairs of smooth presentations to round out a beautiful family.;)
 
My LITTLE FAMILY

Somebody around here has been leading me down a path I had not expected to take. At first, it was just me and my M63. Now, look what's happened!! And it hasn't stopped! There's another one in
the oven!!

Reckon they could always borrow a couple of presentations from one of my other N Frame families.... ;)

Thanks for the kind comment, agree they are beautiful (and yes I do shoot them). :cool:
 
One or Two ?

1 or 2--nothing special--remember gents/ladies, first liar doesn't stand a chance:D:D:D:D:D
 
I would gloat if I had that many nice Smiths, By the way how do you get drool off a computer key board.
 
wow great photos!! Keepem coming

Thanks for all the kind words!

I try to buy, what I like, what I can afford...
 
Ugh, every time one of these threads pops up, I feel sick with desire. Gunnut44, Foodfuzz, and bravastar1, fantastic collections. Others I remember with great collections/pics from other posts are Allen-frame and Doc44.

I thought I had reached a point where I had almost enough, but now I see I was totally wrong. I may be inspired to dig everything out for a family photo myself.

Foodfuzz

What do you do for a living and can I get a job too...:eek:

Very nice little gathering you got there...my wife would leave me long before I got that many.. :rolleyes: ..

Maybe that wouldn't be so bad...better find some work soon or mine will be finding new homes...hate for them to go hungry...
 
Thanks for sharing, makes my small collection look sad, but I am happy with what I have right now, and I shoot them all at least 4 times a year...

I like gloat threads. Gloat threads are OK. Gloating is good.

Gentlemen all, these are truly gloatworthy collections. Congratulations are in order to all of you. Every thumb I've got is way up for these images, and I have a lot of thumbs -- particularly when I am trying to produce some tight groups at the range. There is a reason why no one ever discusses proper placement of one's trigger thumb.

But I'd hate to have the Line of Equity payments on your houses that made all these fine collections possible.
