That coach, on the other hand. He's the last person who should be mentoring anyone.

That coach has one priority, and obviously it's not helping young men become good citizens.

Ain't that the pot calling the kettle black. You're a lot older than me!

"A LOT"? A lot older?
Yeah, prolly.

You just wait kiddo! But I KNOW that you are a LOT older than you were when we met all those years ago.

Hot diggity man, that was back when we were just getting into guns.

Pants up, don't loot! Whoops, I meant hands up don't shoot!

My brother and I were out shooting one day. I had my .458S and was trying out some loads while he spotted my brass. (.85 ea.)
About the third shot, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him move. Then I heard him laughing.

He had caught something that had come fluttering down out of the air. It was the aluminum gas check from the last bullet I had fired.

The term you're looking for is whippersnapper! Sheesh, do I gotta school all
you geezers?

The term you're looking for is whippersnapper!

I don't think so. I still have most of my teeth. Always seemed, now that I think about it, 'Whipper-Snapper' was best pronounced with few or no teeth.

You too huh? Somehow I figured pretty much everyone here when I joined were well experience fire-arm people.

I started target shooting a little in 2004/05 while in college. Shot a 308 as my first high powered rifle round in 2007 or so. Didn't really start buying guns until around 2010.

WOW ! Do I feel ancient.
I was building pipe guns and making my own black powder in the early '50s. Granted, my first cartridge weapon, purchased with lawn mowing money, was a mail order 20ga bolt action, ($5.00 down and $5.00 a week) from Sears.

Thanks Mikey,

You have me beat on the teeth though.

After one brushing with a Studebaker steering wheel, I have 50% fewer cavities.

"Studebaker"?! That is way back there. Unless it was an "Avanti"? Or you were a kid and were behind the wheel at a young age!

It was a '54 sedan. Ruined the poor thing.
I think it was about '62.
