If only you knew how much my Grandmother cried & prayed for me.
A wayward child, who like most males does not even start to mature till age thirty five.
The rifles of my youth were flat shooting zip code to zip code, heavy barrel, high magnification modern wonders.
Owned first classic double by age forty, & that somewhat by default.
First muzzle loader, by fifty five.
Some of us are just late bloomers.
I have much hope for the youth of today & see that realized in them as they mature to appreciate fine wine, ground coffee & best guns. We can foster & mentor this development in them by getting up alongside them & giving them a shot with our classics.
I will not cry for them, but like my Granny did for me, I will pray.
O.M
