    Default who is Willie Barnard

    Who is this man, I see he is a member, but hear very little from him.
    I Google till all hours of the morning, and google has decided I want to see more about this guy.
    I keep finding him casting, old rifle, Voor Trekker, do it yourself, tree discussions etc etc. and that same name in my search's. Willie Barnard keeps popping up, even here on GS someone posted a Willie Barnard post.

    Today I got 3 posts, "Dave check this guy out, you will dig him much"
    One post about coffee and two with him playing the violin.
    Who is this man and why am I supposed to meet him.

    Tell me about your Dr Willie Barnard.

    He is a quiet force that works magic . I am sure that every member has been touched by his kindness.
    He is truly a remarkable human being .
    live out your imagination , not your history.

    The guy has become almost a catch word in my life, I am constantly being told advised " you must contact Willie Barnard" -"Willie Barnard will know", "I will ask Willie Barnard for you"

    I am just amazed that from knowing of a fellow, too 2/3 times a week he pops up in my doings.
    I was sent 3 videos yesterday regarding the man.

    Sounds like an urban legend, a firearms festival on his own shooting range on his own farm? DAMN I need to re-think some career choices
