Out here in West Texas Handis are not very common sights in the pawn shops or the few Mom & Pop gun shops left. They sell well new but end up being used by the original owners forever.I have been forced to import and domesticate a few of them from our Yankee Brethren ;D.With a little work they settle down well to their new life in the West. Hardest part is breaking them from the habit of being in the snow and ice all winter, but they do adjust quickly. ::) Temp in the mid 60's today! Doing my part 1 at a time .

Yes it does, and by the way, 116 is just a down payment on a good retirement investment!
Thanks woodsman85.

He'd need a fish eye lens, or line them up and take an in-line view photo of them.  Either way not going to see them real good anyway.  I have 11 and cant get them all settled down enough to take a "decent" family photo.  My two boys are just as hard. ;D
