I had one when I was in my early teens. One day a bluejay was sitting on a telephone support cable about 40 yards behind our place. My dad had an odd disdain for bluejays (said they were nest robbers) and he unbelievably told me to take a crack at it. Unbelievable because we were on the edge of town, but in city limits and dad was strict about not shooting at home. Anyway I'm pretty sure he didn't think I could hit it, but that Nylon 66 was accurate and down it went!
