I grew up a hunting boy, joined the military and spent 17 months in war situations, Operation Mamba Station (Africa) Desert Shield (Isreal) Desert Storm and a civil war thing in Turkey. I carried my M-14 not a 16 a .45 and a grenade launcher. I heard and seen a lot of live fire and to this day have only shot a gun once since being out. I have a serious case of the flinches every time a gun goes off in the woods. Strictly a bow hunter now and opening weekend of duck season is about my death every year. I shouldn't hunt so close to the ponds but, it is what it is.
