Dad got me my first BB gun at age 9. First .22 at age 11, Shotgun at age 12. Besides missing a few years while stationed overseas I'd say I've been hunting for about 43 years. Killed more deer than grouse in my life I'm thinking. First sxs I didn't get until 1996 when I was stationed in Germany. After I got hooked on sxs's I sold all my o/u's except a double trigger Merkel 16 and my dad's old Winchester 101 20 gauge that he bought new in 1963 from the Rod and Gun Club in Corpus Christi Texas.
