The two guys I remember were my dad and my older 1st. cousin;
pop used a old j.c.higgens bolt action 12 gauge and a crack-shot .22 he got when he was 8 years, my cousin always seem to be using a Model 12 or a parker double. This was about 1950-55. My brother and I both got first shotguns (Steven's bolt 20 gauge) for Christmas in 1956, brother was 12,me 11.

*fur-got, mom had bolt action .410 she would use for rabbit hunting back about then. i've still got the gun in my lockup.
