I was hunting with my dad at the ageof 9 or 10 and we had our own gun a 410. We learned to shoot it and when not to. That was a way of life and I thinkthe now years are alot weirder than 30 years ago. We I was coon hunting, we use to go down a dirt road stick kitchen matches up in the sand and shoot them. If you could light the match then you could shoot a coon, because to sell the fur it needed to be shot in the head if it was shot anywhere else the hide was not as valueable. The matches developed very good aim.  |
Yeah, it was a common sight to see pickup drivers with long guns on a rack in their rear window. I'm not sure why we dont see that much these days. I wouldnt do it just because I'd worry someone would break into my truck and steal it. Maybe we'd see a renaissance if someone came out with a window rack that locked the gun securely. BTW Pie, what sort of gun were you shootin at the matches with? I could see ya doin that with a .22 rifle, but if ya can do it with a .410 shotgun ya just impressed the hell out of me!
