Several things got me started in shooting. Among them were cowboy westerns, Combat comic books, cap guns, adds in Boys' Life magazines, Herter's Catalog, Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, Field and Stream, American Rifleman, the Army Store down on Vine Street, the Athletic House on Gay Street, Jack O'Connor, Shooters' Bible, Klein's mail order advertisements, and shooting an old Remington rolling block 22 when we came to the farm over Christmas.
