Thanks for the nice comments, Gene.
I've always been kind of an accuracy nut, right from my first shooting with a 22 LR rifle. In 8th grade, I joined a local rifle club that was sponsoring an NRA junior 50 foot 4 position bullseye shooting program. Two boys in my class also joined. All of our parents thought it would be a good way to get started in shooting for the sake of doing it, safely, and it was. Our coach was very strict and a no-nonsense kind of guy. I didn't own any guns at the time, so I used one of the club rifles for my shooting, which were Remington 513T 22 rifles equipped with Redfield globe/peep sights.
I took to that shooting, right away and really, really worked at it like it was the most important thing in my life. The coach noticed this and appreciated it and took a personal interest in me. With his help, I earned all my medals before any of the other kids and at the end of the course, he actually invited me to come back when I was in college and try out for the college team. I never did that, but ever since then, I've been hooked on shooting with accuracy, using accurate guns. Sixty years later and nothing has changed about that.
