i owe it to dad. he started me out right. started shooting a BB gun soon after i could walk. then a 22lr. then a 20ga with a light load. then a 20ga with a heavy load. then a 12ga with a light load. then a 308 etc etc...i was shooting a 338RUM at 14 or 15 and loving it. i was shooting fully automatic weapons and alot of handguns since 13 or so. i owe it to dad for taking the time to do things right with me. i wouldnt be who i am today without him.
now i blame him...all i wanna do is hunt or fish or shoot...so when im blowing paychecks on a new rifle i thank him for my addictions...when i call off work to hunt because that day felt lucky i blame him....etc..
