Ron,

Better late than never! I grew up in the city, and my dad wasn't an outdoorsman. First I ever really got acquainted with firearms was when I tried out for the rifle team in college (obviously, before shooting became politically incorrect at institutions of higher learning). Shot for a couple of years, but then let it go until after I was married. I got turned on to hunting by my father-in-law, for whom I'm the son he never had. Hunting with him has been a great experience. Much of what I'm passing on to my own kids I learned from him.
