06/21/17 • 22 min

Dr. J David Winningham traveled the world as a rocket scientist. He has a PHD degree in physics and did research at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio who worked for NASA building satellites to travel to the planets. He and his wife Betty, started Natives of Texas in 1994 where they grow plants that are native to Texas. His wife passed away in 2003 after a 30 year battle with cancer and he decided to semi-retire and spend most of his time at the nursery. The nursery open 7 days a week is located south of Kerrville at 4256 Medina Highway (Highway 16 South). It has an abundance of plant life and his ranch has some spectacular views of the Texas Hill Country. If your looking for a unique hill country place to visit and experience, I'd highly recommend you visit.

Paul opened Apache Rifle Works located near Comfort, Texas. They offer a state of the art shooting range open to the public and law enforcement. They have license to carry classes and one on one weapon training. They build and repair firearms and sell quality weapons. Paul got an interest in firearms as a kid with his Daisy BB gun and has kept an interest since. The company had their grand opening in 2016 and is open 6 days a week.

We talked about the AR-15 and the tendency for some in the news media to not tell the whole story about it. The weapon has a long history with the military, and many hunters and sport shooters.

I visited the business on July 13th, 2017 and I was happy to do the interview with Paul.
