Machinegau shooting in Maine

I have a friend who knows Japanese machineguns more than anyone in the world.
He lives in State of Maine and I drove there from NYC twice a year during my stay in U.S.

He took me out for Japanese machine guns shooting every time.
It took three hours to prepare the shooting for assembleing and checking guns carefully.
We had three different places for the shootings.

One of them was his friends' estate where his friend makes bottles of drinking water as merchandise.
We went there one day and from his pot on a hill, we shoot the target by Model 96, 99 and Navy 92 .
We all were very relaxed and happy under the commfatable early summer sun with wind and smell of the gun smoke.

Then for a while a car came to the entrance. His wife came back.
She saw us and looked not friendly to us. It was a natural attitude.

I have visited many people for my research of weapons.
It was very seldom experience that wives liked to see someone visiting her house and handling
weapons.
This is common in Japan. Not many women like someone coming to see her husband weapon collections.
