........ OLD GUYS RULE !!!!!! ........
I'm reminded of the late All-American and NSSA Hall-of-Fame shooter Grey Silva. He was a true gentleman of Skeet, and the first shooter, over 70, to get a 100-straight with a .410 (the weekend before his 80th b'day). Back in the day, he was pleased when I made-up "old age and treachery" business cards for him.

At 80, Mr. Silva was still kicking a lot of butt on the Skeet field. Younger shooters would come up to him with congratulations for another win. Many would include something like, "I sure hope I can shoot like you when I'm your age." Sometimes, after they'd left, Grey would say under his breath, "He'll be lucky if he ever shoots as well as I do... and lives as long."
