Nate McKenzie was always good about sending photos of his rifles for the blog. This group was sent on July 4, 2018 right after we had posted a series on his new fowler. I always enjoyed his targets which notes his first shot and then shots after the sight was filed. "Thank you for posting the pictures of my fowler. I can finally build again after my shoulder surgery. I  hope you are having a wonderful 4th. Its hotter than blazes here in northeast Pa. Here is another candidate for the blogspot. Thanks for looking."

Nate passed away on August 27, 2018. His obit is here.
