I finally found a place to host files, so I figured I'd take this opportunity to post a family pic.

Left to right we have a Syracuse Arms Hollenbeck, double barrel damascus 12 guage,  Russian M-44 7.62 x 54,  Ruger 10/22,  custom made .30 cal cap lock muzzle loader,  Bushmaster M4-A2, A ruger P-94, 9mm, Ruger P-90DC, .45 acp and Bulgarian Makarov.

The little muzzle loader is what started it all.
My father built it for me in about 1968 when I was all of 6 years old.
It's got a Marlin .22 hex barrel which he rifled out to .30 cal.
Believe it or not, I won matches against men with this thing as early as 11 and 12.
My Dad told me he got a kick out of the reactions of other competitors after being beaten by a little kid with what appeared to be a toy.
They didn't have junior matches at that point and it wasn't until I was in my teens that they did.
By that time I had a gorgeous custom made flintlock Kentucky long rifle and man I wish I still had it!
My Dad and I cleaned up at the state matches in Sanford, Florida 1978 and it's a memory I'll never let go of.
Anyway, kudos to my Father for indoctrinating me into shooting sports and giving me a gift that would last a lifetime.



Well, this was a test and the picture link didn't work so moderator feel free to flame the whole thing.
