A recent post instigate this post...............
The old Selby County Shooting Range was a 100 yard rifle/pistol range. It was beautifully consructed with excellent safety measures incorporated. At the firing line,the shooter could not see any sky. And target lines were at 7 1/2 yards, fifteen yhards, twenty five yards, fifty yards, and one hundred yards. PVC pipe sleeves were sunk into the ground to hold target frames. Since shooters had to walk down range to check or replace targets, the order was twenty minutes of firing, then clear the line.
When the line was clear, there was time to socialize among the shooters. I made some good friends during those intervals. I had a list of twelve or thirteen shooters whom I had befriended. Now I am the only one left alive, with the possible exception of one with whom I've lost contact. Kind of a sad list.
