Will be 74 in three months. Started SB rifle at 18. Shot here in Maine, Connecticut in the 60's 4 position SB, then later took up skeet when I was moved by job to an area with no SB rifle. Back to Maine in 1983 and took up SB rifle again along with NRA Silhouette. Still shooting SB rifle but find it more difficult as I age. Still plan to shoot silhouette this summer, God willing. Will continue to shoot as long as I can hold a gun and hit the target.
