Lackland AFB 1968
M16 (I think I had Kimio's rifle when it was brand new)

My father had given me a Winchester 75 target when I was about 11, and I took indoor lessons at the Multnomah Athletic Club. (That is a story in of itself, involving the retired Marine DI degenerate who taught there)

When qualifying I had a nice 60 round pattern in the center of the target. But the guys, from Ohio, on either side of me must of been shooting at my target as well. There were about 90 holes in it scattered all over the place.
