Hey Ed!

She's now bench zeroed at 25 yards with Predators and the LockTite is drying.  If any intruders come into the back yard tomorrow, I am going to break my New Year's resolution and whack 'em with the Gamo HE so I can send you a proper photo.  Thanks again.

Yes, and it is unique!  No one has one exactly like this or ever will.  It was a special deal on Gamo Hunter Elite that Joe Cuz helped me out with, with a custom tune from Charlie da Tuna (one of his last TurboTunes), complete with spring and seal from James Maccari and now with a custom camo paint job by Ed Ehrisman.  Tell me how it gets any better than that?  Well, maybe if I can figure out some way for Gene Curtis to do something else to the air rifle.  Any suggestions, Gene?

Your design and yours alone my friend.:) Jason just give me shout when your ready buddy, I love decking out the families babies with camo. Ed

Ed:

Even if you used the same stencils and paint colors, the next one would never be exactly like this one, even if you tried.  So, if a customer were to ask you for the same kind of camo job as you did on this rifle, you should certainly not turn them down on my account.  I just meant that your work is always unique, not like "Real Tree" or its commercial variations.

: shadow January 03, 2009, 11:11:10 AM
Oh I may use similar colors etc. but that pattern and even the stencil design is yours.:) I always challenge myself to design and draw out new stencils for each project and only several are kept on hand for reference, they just get loaded up with to much paint on one project. Ed

Joe:

Don't buy a new gun!  Pick out one of your favorites and just send it to Ed.  I bet he could do something unique for one of those Talons.  Maybe tone down that big shiny thing on the end of the one you were hunting with over New Years.  I may have him do my RWS 48, but I am going to try to get J to help me cut the stock and put a riser cheek piece on the ambi stock first.  Send me some .22 pellets when they get in stock.  Sent you an email.  Happy New Year, Joe.  Hope this one is better for you than the last!!!  Sounds like you are off to a real good start.

Absolutely Breathtaking... Man Ed you have so much talent buddy. That is one of the nicest ones I have seen. And Tommy you are very fortunate to have had Shadow's Camo Designs prep and camo that stock. I am gonna have to one up you buddy and get Ed to do one for me...:) He has already done my B-3 which I think is another excellent job welldone.

Gene:

Please let me shamelessly promote Ed and his Shadow Custom Camo jobs.  

As all can see, Ed is a very talented guy.  His prices are more than fair.  His service was prompt.  He returned my rifle and scope packaged even more carefully that I had packaged it when I sent it to him.  In short, Ed is a +++++ "dealer" and a skilled artisan.  

I know the economy in Flint has taken a down turn.  I suspect Ed could use the business.  I am delighted with his work and will probably send him another hunter - perhaps the Diana 48 - because I really love his work!

Thanks buddies, it's  labor of love and I really enjoy doing camo for members of the GTA family. I've done camo for customers , they love the work and the customer and camo are never seen again. It's out in the stick's somewhere doing it's job, it's nice to see some of my work now and then with critters next to it or adorning a gunrack.:) Ed

Gosh Ed !



It is almost a shame to use those airguns that you have designed, and painted!



They are truly beautiful, and works of art !



Beautiful work buddy !!!!
