Mr. George I get your point...Sorry but I don't agree with it being normal practice of the day.

I didn't think I did near as much judging as they did justifying.

Until they pressed me.

Not much doubt in my mind when your grandfather told you to shoot that bird off the limb he was running a test on you...you passed.
He most likely knew you would.

I've ran similar tests on people I've taken fall turkey hunting with my dog some passed some failed.

Great story nothing braggadocios or unbelievable in it at all.
