Stan has it spot on.

Two things I really wanted to do in life. I wanted to fly like Jimmy Stewart and shoot like John Wayne.

I well remember working in an underage sweat shop making $1.65/hour running a punch press in 10th grade. I saved enough working 5 hours a night for close to a year to buy enough lessons to pass first solo. When flying time is that dear, one does pay attention. There is no substitute for motivation. If you really want it, you can achieve it.

Fast forward a few years.... I had a flight student who was a shooter. He showed me his Browning broadway trap, and his Ljutic monogun. They were the most amazing things I had ever seen.... Eric was kind enough to provide some basic instruction and a couple cases of shells.

I have no actual talent at any of this... just desire and drive. It's better than all the money in the world. Know why? Because I did it myself.
