Good shooters are made, not born - Fred Misseldine
Young man is 13 years old, he has been the male head of the household even though there was a dad under the roof for many years.
The fella that sired him , made a choice, and is not real happy with the new gal he messed around with and later married.
This dad spent this young man's college money his mom's family set aside.
He spent this money "buying skill and targets".
$35,000 in just over a year, buying shotguns, other guns, to shoot various gun games and disciplines.
He stuck a gun in that boy's hands, with no instructions, and "you WILL shoot this gun and then laughed when it knocked the boy down and left a bruise.
This was almost as funny as the time he did that with the boy's mom.
Needless to say, the boy was not upset when his dad and mom divorced, nor when they moved away.
Not upset when his dad was too busy for visitation times or changing his mind about the boy coming out during summer to spend time.
Mom and the boy were soured to say the least about guns.
Time heals they say, and his mom met some ladies and they were really nice, and knew about guns, including shotguns.
They were nice to a young man, and then the guys that hung out with the ladies were nice too.
So he learned to shoot a single shot rifle, and do this with other kids , both girls and boys his age.
Mom did this too, but she was really getting into shotguns.
This gun stuff was not so bad afterall, these folks were nice, and had time to spend assisting others.
This 13 year old can now run a 20 ga pump and Model 10/64 revolver.
Folks grin, smile, and even eyes get moist seeing him shoot and transition.
He earned this, he did not buy his skills and targets.
Normally it is suggested one not get rid of guns family give them, due to sentimental value...just there was no "family" attached to what guns he had, and for sure no "sentimental value" just "bad memories".
His mom had no problem with his decisions, and she had done the same thing with some guns she had and told "you WILL do this gun as it it THE gun to do ..."
He sold these shotguns everybody says one has to have, with all the curb feelers, fuzzy dice, brand names and folks post pictures of.
He sold the pistol grips, the fore end pistol grips , recoil reducing stocks and everything.
He had not one shotgun, or anything shotgun of his own any more.
He was happy, and free.
"Now I can start to learn how to be a shotgunner mom" he said.
His first step, not being an owner of a shotgun, as he knew from first hand experiences, some really bad, how wrong that was.
What he had and got rid of , is not important, one has seen and will continue to see pictures posted of these.
What he had is not important really either, except to say, wood, allowing fit to be fitted to him, Pachmayr Decelartors recoil pad, bone stock, meaning no mag extensions, no side saddles, no pistol grips , no...just looks like a factory gun - just older is all as he wanted good and used.
He got his own set of books like his mom bought.
He did his repetitions, dry fire and all...
Insisted he get his own reloader, so there would be a backup one for him and mom, and quality time is mom and son cranking out shells, with some good tunes playing.
Just like his mom...
He is shooter.
He is a shotgunner, not someone that owns a shotgun.
Can't buy it - gotta earn it - me
