Or not like the person. I could hit things with it. Not bulls eyes maybe. But make one bunch off your chest. Could I have dreamt that? Can anyone corroborate this? Shoot en shells. Early 60's. Throw me a bone here. And I'll shot it out of the air. I had a low slung holster brown leather which had a leather string which attached it to your leg way low to your knee. I could pull and draw and shoot in one motion and hit toy solders. I practiced by the hour. You'd think I'd grow up and be a gun nut but no. Gun free. And mean to stay that way. They'd have to pry one into my cold dead hand. At night. I went to the same high school as Charlton Heston. New Trier on north shore Chicago. But he got there a few years before me. Remember the tv late 50s cowboy with the mirrors on his hat so he'd blind the guy before drawing on him then get him? I always put mirrors on my cowboy hat. So I'd be mirror cowboy. On cloudy days they didn't do much. And were kind of silly. But on sunny days you always got the sun behind them. Then you'd blind the little monsters. Then draw on them while they blinked. Never knew what hit em. Mark Rabiner 8A/109s New York, NY markrabiner.com
