I have been very fortunate in stumbling across Bob Reynolds of Templar Consulting and Randy Young of Young Guns (Both of Apex, NC). Bob makes beautiful firearms, and Randy sells them.
I also happen to be fortunate enough to know photographer Ken Boney.
When Bob told me that the Alaskan Hunter he built for Sarah Palin was coming back into the shop before being shipped to the Governor, we set up a photo shoot and let Ken work his magic. While Ken is still processing the photos of the rifle, I thought I’d share some of the photos he composed of the unique .50 Beowulf ammunition made just for this project.
