My Dad always was rooted deeply in firearms...I had a rifle in my hands from the time I was big enough to lug one around (think I was about 8) My first rifle of my very own was a M91 Nagant 7.62x54R that Dad go me for my 13th birthday (much to my mothers dismay
) But My first time shooting was with Grand Pop with his old WWI German .22 trainer that his dad gave him.
