My older brother has one of those Ithacas. It became mine (for awhile) when he was older. I could consistantly hit a bottle cap at 60’.

There was a creek by our cabin and we would stand up on the berm and shoot at sticks we would throw into the water. My friends with their semi-auto .22 would just waste bullets. After awhile I became the designated stick-thrower, and I’d still hit it first with my one shot.

I thought I was such a great shot, even tried out for the rifle squad at college. Couldn’t get a 10 in a couple weeks of trying with those big heavy .22 rifles! (I was tempted to have my brother send out that little Ithaca).
