Wow! What's the gun the chap in black T shirt and jeans (with the gold chains round his neck) holding? And where's you in this snap?
Cheers!

Yes Casual Shooter....and the betting numbers are actually an interpretation of dreams. Awesome story. Sorry Naga...just a snippet.

The shooting must have been great fun. Is that a musket in the background? Are you guys using powder? Awesome :)

Did you guys not see the fresh water fish . Shot with the muzzle loader I suppose.
Only thing missing (in the snap) is the Booze.

P.S.: Why is no one wearing the "traditional" Red and black wool Naga shawls.
I have one at home. picked it up when my father was posted in Shillong.

Looks like a good time was had by all. Always good to see people enjoying themselves.
