Meet the Venturinos.......and "family"

--------------------

Duke, Yvonne, and their cow. Mmmmm!

Duke and Yvonne with the Buffalo cow he shot in Nebraska, 6 January, 2002. He did this with a "RHO" scope sighted Shiloh Sharps in .45-70. The load was a 520g cast bullet over blackpowder and it was shot at 260 yards! They just couldn't get any closer! Mmmm-Mmmm-good!

da' couple!

Some of his children...............we can relate, right??

Real Duke!

We all have at least one hero, right? Here's a true American Hero for you!

Mont. State Champion, 2000

Does he look a little cocky, or WHAT?? Probably because he he had just won the Montana B.P.C.R. State Championship in September of 2000. Congrat's Duke!
