[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 556755, member: 30902"] Neither of my granddad's were shooters. My GP that was in the Sea Bee's killed the only Jap he saw face to face in the war with a pipe wrench while working on a dozer. He couldn't shoot worth a **** but man he was hell with a Monkey Wrench! My GGP on the otheside however was the last Federal Marshall Stationed at Ft. Sumner and assigned to clean out the sewer there and had the terrigory from there to Albuquerque, to Amarillo, and "The Cimmaron Strip"... He was reputed to have done many thins with a firearm that seemed beyond possible including putting six shots into a thrown Vienna Sausage can without it ever touching the ground. This in response to a loudmouth who had made the mistake of attempting to rob my grandfather's store. He was nearly eighty at the time.... .gun) He was long gone before I was born but can you imagine what he was like in his prime? A 6' 10" Federal Marshall who could shoot that well in 1890's Ft. Sumer, Clovis, Texico etc... . I'd have loved for him to live long enough to tell me stories but my Granddad was the last of 9 Children born in that family and his dad I think was in his fifties when he was born. Time for bed.
