While I was at Gunsite I had the pleasure of visiting the house of Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper, designed by him and still the residence of his charming wife, known as the Sconce (a small protective fortification, a type used in Europe until the 19^th century). The house itself is slowly being converted to a kind of living museum by their daughter Lindy, and in its entirety is a shrine to a life spent hunting on almost every continent and the study of arms.

This is no more apparent than in the cool of the basement, which is pretty much the ultimate man cave, where testosterone drips off the walls.
