I spent a lot of Sundays in the 70's and 80's as a kid sitting and watching Westerns with my dad. James Stewart, John Wayne, all the oldies. He loved 'em. We'd watch for hours, then I'd break out the Red Ryder and go berserk in the backyard and beg for a run to the store to get more BB's after I ran out of ammo. I shot so much, I could judge distance and the drop of that BB, and hit anything, and I mean anything, within 40 yds if it was quarter sized or larger. I still have that gun, and I hope to pass the love of shooting on to my 3yr old son one day, PC be damned!
