I married a girl raised in a family of 8 from a small town in central PA.

I grew up in the MD suburbs just south of Washington, DC in a family of 10 kids, no guns around at all. And my first handgun was a 6 inch Taurus model 66 357 magnum which I also still have. My first firearm was a Marlin 22 bolt action, which I still have. I learned to shoot handguns with a Colt commander and a Sw Chiefs special which were my dad's favorites when I was young, somewhere along the line dad sold the colt while his company was on strike for food and groceries. Its how my shotguns have been setup for many years. I learned to shoot longarms on a savage over and under 410/22 which is why to this day I am a good wingshooter using rifle sights. I learned to shoot bow about the time I learned to walk, and it is still my favorite sport. It gets lonely occasionally, I was never one for a lot of friends, they were it. I miss my best friends and hunting partners. For many years it was dad, me, and my best friend Don, whom was like a second son to dad. This year, will be the first hunting season on my own, in 62 years after dad passed last December. It was always the Sunday before or after. To my knowledge, my dad and I had never had Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving day at home. That started a life long hunting partnership. I was 6 months old when my father took me up north during Michigan's archery season and a month later we went up north for my first Thanksgiving in rifle season.
