I went to an all boys Grammar School in the middle of Manhattan, yes Manhattan!, in the late 50's and we had a 22 rifle range in the basement. As a sport, it was warmer and much less muddy than soccer (to say nothing of not being ground into the field by bigger kids) so began a lifetime of shooting and hunting, much travel, many interesting friends and some considerable expense. I often wonder if the range is still there and if one's father could drive one to the door and hand one one's rifle. Any bets?
