I truly appreciate everyones thouhgts andf please continue...good or bad. Bruce and I are making a modest effort based on what we think we can offer. I understand each of your perspectives.

As to my office...the rifles are on occassion there...usually arrive from a purchase or trade and I do ( selective) show them to patients, parents and staff....and they are absolutely "awed" at their beauty and history. I am however politely declined when I offer to go to a school with an offer to "teach" history, so thus the "INTERNET".

What I also know is that with this effort.....the answer is __?___! And I am not being arrogant or sarcastic. Without Tim , Dennis  and others...No ALR, our top site, and without "The Museum Committee"....no ALR Library and Museum....800 rifles on display for the whole world to see.  Who really knows. We are not selling anything, no agenda other than to offer to provide easier access to "knowledge" the best way we can. So join us. Be optomistic!!! THE ANSWER TO NO EFFORT IS A KNOWN!

Any suggestions welcome. Sites to be added; email us your suggestions. Contact Bruce and I personally or continue this or other threads

Thank you

Hurricane and Nord.

How could I join the sight, or is that possible at this time?  I looked it over and it is very interesting.

Partially built.  Though you viewers are not the prime target audience, our goal is to assist  new interested persons to find information easily. We would appreciate your thoughts.

That is a very commendable idea when I first started in the 1970's there was the NMLRA with an outrages membership fee of IIRC $8.00 and the guy who got you started shooting black powder.  I was lucky and my coach was a veteran target shooter at Friendship.  If there had been an internet and organization like this then, by now I may have learned to build a rifle.  Keep up the good work and let me know if I can help.  Doug Johnson

Much more completed.  Have a look.  Much more "Horn " stuff. Remember we are try to make KY Rifle (1750-2015) information readily available to attract new interest. This is intentionally not written for ALR viewer who are experienced makers and collectors. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Pointing out errors would especially be helpful.
