A Toast

[CCantu357]

Having a night cap after MNF (Who Dat). Just wanted to make a toast to those who got us into shooting. For me it was my grandfather. He was lawman and would not let take my first shot with his Model 64 until I mastered the Weaver Stance and dry fired for about a week straight. Seemed silly when I was a kid but now at 25 I still use those techniques. Though I hear they are outdated now, he shot those Smiths like a laser beam. I'l stick with 'em!

What does it say about me that my first thought when seeing the thread title was "Rocky Horror Picture Show?"

Kind of had random shooting encounters throughout my childhood. Folks weren't into guns at all. I was a walking encyclopedia of gun knowlege though. Just didn't own any guns.

Then the military.

Then 2008. Got back into guns. I know I can recall why if ya give me a minute...

HA...I never really got into that movie. I used to be encyclopedic about guns. Then everything turned into a AR/AK and 1911 show. Got burned out but now I am back. And I can guess, it should change in about 18 hours!

My father died when I was very small and I lived a long way from my grandfather so I didn't have the family to teach me. But I did have a neighbor who became a sort of grandfather figure to me and he got me interested in shooting at an early age and I've never looked back.
