I remember seeing my Dad shoot long the first time. My Dad left the Army long before I was born. He was a paratrooper with an EIB. He picked up a deer rifle, made two shots...adjusted the sights...and put up a whole bunch of shots within an inch of each other at about 500 yards.

I was stunned.

We he took our Boy Scout troop to the range, he picked up a .22 rifle and shot his NRA Expert in about 40 minutes.

I was in awe of the way he could shoot.

No, of course they aren’t. But, the article was about him, not them. Thus, my comment reflected that.

Ted Gundy? That is an almost very unfortunate name to have...
