Hausmann's: Endless Mountain Melancholy

[TOOL MAN]

Wistful....longing to be somewhere else today. My long-time co-pilot Jimmy Malone and I would be passing through one of my favorite haunts about now, the legendary Catskill trout streams, heading westbound en route to the bucolic Endless Mountains and the Rockwellian hamlet of Friendsville, home of Hausmann's Hidden Hollow. For many Fox fanatics, it's a X-Mas morning of sorts, the start of a jubilant, 3-day rendezvous sans the fur-trading. A reunion of a fraternal order of old friends and doublegun addicts, most of whom love to burn powder, testing their skill at breaking what historically have proved to be some mighty challenging targets. Home of the perennial, Bo-Whoop and W.C. Letterman SBT Challenge and no less epic, Mrs. C's chocolate chunk cookies. With that said, I'll leave you with some great Hausmann's memories from days gone by. Memories---in the words of Streisand----"you memorize to keep your winters warm." Enjoy.

Thanks, Tool Man, for sending us a true piece of history.

Nicely done. Thanks Steve.

I don't think we will ever see Fox singles like that again. Thanks for that last picture.

[Silvers]

Thanks Steve for the memories, good times for sure that come so slowly and end so quickly. I'm really missing Hausmann's Northeast event and seeing the Fox brethren this year.

frank.

So all we have to do is make it up at Mike's in July-Aug.

Well, I stopped by the gun club for the first time since March 12th and shot a round of clays. I didn't shoot real well, but it was a beautiful day. Cheers!

Something else you don't see every day either. These were some of the guns on display at the Fox booth at the NE SXS a few years ago. I'm and XE fan and the 3rd one down really caught my eye.

[Jeff S]

We could be eating dinner at Outback right now.

Thanks for posting those pictures Steve. It helped make up for not being there.

We miss Mrs. C's cookies too.

We will somehow have to endure til Iron Mike's.
