Location is everything
Bisbee is smaller than it sounds. The elevation is 4780 so in the summer we frequently get a DA higher than 7K. It's also only a couple miles from the Mexican border so we get regular traffic from the Border Patrol and other LE organizations. The North, East, and West sides of the field have mountai...

Thanx
Hey hngrflyr, Thanx for the reply. The Sterba I got only had a few hundred hours on it but I wanted it blessed by the master so I sent it back to Ed and he refinished it to like new condition for next to nothing.
