My average age is varies from frat boy to old codger but hovers someplace in the late 30's. But I knew there was something amiss when my "baby" daughter invited me to her 40th birthday party. When brought back to reality (which I avoided at all costs) my drivers licence indicates that in a few months I will begin my 69th year.

My first shotgun was a Mossberg 410 bolt action when I was about 13 ...... My uncle Herbert tried to give me a SxS about a year later, he ran a hardware store in Weymouth Mass and took it in trade ...... But I would have none of it .... I wanted a "pump" gun like I saw in the movies. It only took me about 30 years to learn better.
