COOL!!! I wish it was me! Not that I'll ever be caught in Southern Cali (Gun control is just so harsh there), but if I meet up with you, I'll buy the ammo for both of us!

I started shooting at 6 years of age. My grandfather and father got me out in the backyard and taught me how to shoot a .22LR bolt action.
Of course I had to prop it up on a tall stool, cause it was too heavy for me to hold properly. I conveniced my mom and dad to buy me a BB gun when I was 9. I took a Daisy Safety Test in the Sunday comic page. When my grandfather died, I got the .22 bolt action. My Uncle also gave me my other Grandfather's Shotgun. Used to hunt all the time. So long ago... Then my love of firearms took of from there. I was an marksmanship instructor in the Army and Shoot competitively in College and in the Army Reserve. Mostly small bore and high power. I also used to shoot at local IPSC meets. Take the Deagle(as it's now been dubbed) to one of those and shoot it. Those are FUN!!!
