I've never met you or ordered anything from you, but I'm extremely impressed with your honesty, integrity, business sense, and how you treat your customers. You're one of those people who's not only in business to make money, but because it's your passion as well. Don't ever lose your passion for what you do or you're sense of fairness, and you're destined for greatness. Congratulations!

Chip,

That is a great success story!

You have proven that hard work, good customer relations, knowledge of your market = successful business. Glad to see you grow! Its a hard decision to roll the dice and go self employed.

I visit Winchester,VA several times a year to participate in a civil war shooting competition. We usually plan a day trip to D.C. or where ever. (NRA museum in Fairfax last spring) I'll try to stop in and see you next time. How far are you off of 66?
