Just curious about age

[GonzoK34]

65, a disabled Vietnam Veteran with 3 tours infantry and recon, had the pleasure of working with true HEROES and it's been my honored and life long duty to never forget that,

"HE WHO HAS SHED BLOOD WITH ME SHALL FOREVER BE MY BROTHER"

I'm the old grunt who has the watch. I never expected to live this long. But, in all wars God spares a few veterans so that we can carry on our traditions and the memory of those who gave all. Helping the new breed is my commitment.

Hunting and shooting are my therapy. I've been rode hard, broken, and put away wet many times, but when the SHTF, I'm there ready, willing and accountable.

LRH is an excellent source of information and I appreciate all of you for sharing.

Oliveralan- squat that ain't nothin' - in 3 months I'll be (please wait while I cipher it out) (2012 - 1943) = 69. Had to use the calculator and I still don't believe it.

So much to do and so little time......... No more wasted time or shots......

A friend asked me the other day, "How does it feel to be 63?" My reply, " Heck I don't know, I've never been 63 before." Time does fly when you're having a good time.

Roy, you are older than dirt! Real men can count it on their fingers and toes....unless you play around wit "SUPPER GLUE"!!!

Two more Sundays and I will be Hands & Toes, Hands & Toes, Hands & Toes and hands.

Returned from a late season cow elk hunt in Utah. My brother and I both shot our cows at 200yds 30 degree angle uphill. Not bad for 2 Disabled Vietnam Marine Corps Veterans. I'm 65 and he's 68.

Man talk about forgetting S---T, here's the cows. Brother on left, I'm on the right.

Brother's rifle:
Rem700, Leupold 6.5 x 20 LR Duplex, 7-08cal, 154gr Hornady Interbond, 40grs IMR 4064, 2656fps. 100yd Zero, come ups to 700yds.

My rifle:
Rem700, Nightforce 5.5 x 22 x 56mm NP-R2, 300WM, 168gr Barnes TTSX, , 74grs RL19, 3163fps, 100yd Zero, come ups to 1100yds

Both rifles have the actions and barrels tuned concentric to the bore axis, pillared and glass bedded stocks. One piece Grunning Precision scope bases with 8/40 base screws and pinned to the receiver. Tactical rings on the 300WM. NF rings on the 7-08.

Rifles are sighted in at 100yds with come ups calculated on NF BC Program. Data is confirmed in the field to actual 100yd range increments to max effective range for caliber for humane elk kills.
