David Zucker, director of movies including "Airplane"," Naked Gun" and sequels hosted a "David Crockett Frolic", with invited participants coming from several states, including Danny from Arkansas. David graciously hosted this collection of ne'r do wells at his ranch home in California. (Location known only to the F.B.I. and the brew truck.)There was much shooting, fine dining, consuming of fine beverages and general entertainment.  The main theme, of course, was David Crockett who was played by David Zucker himself. It was great weekend with many fine guns to inspect and  the enjoyment of meeting  fine friends!
Below; a little informal shooting and the obligatory group picture of various ruffians assembled  I would be remiss here if I didn't mention John Ennis, a fantastic gunmaker from down San Diego way. If you get the chance to see his work, treat yourself because this gentleman's work  is unreal! He is seated in the lower left front with the large straw hat and Brown Bess musket across his lap. He's a great guy too.


   
Danny firing the English Game gun in .54 caliber.
 
   
Ready to touch her off.  Even as light as the Game gun is, offhand groups at 40- 50 yards average about 2-3 inches, plenty of accuracy for hunting situations.

The entire gathering of n'er-do-wells. The one dimensional cardboard cut-out in the center is David Crockett, not Al Gore.

            

Danny enjoying some good natured banter with the gracious host, David Zucker.
