If he's in the Navy SEALS he is still shooting varmints at
long range. Tell him good luck and thanks.


No, Chemical Engineer, (LT(jg) ) in Virginia.

He went to college on a shooting scholarship. When I picked him up for
Spring break one year, I chatted with his coach (1968 Bronze Olympic medal,
23 years USAF shooting instructor). He said he'd seldom seen anyone hold a
rifle so rock steady.

I hold it more like Barney Fife.
