When I was 13, my Dad gave me my first gun. It was a Sheridan Blue Streak. A .20cal air pump rifle. When he gave it to me he said now I can rid our lawn of those damn gophers digging up the grass. In the first summer, I shot probably 50 gophers. I have to say, it was a lot of fun, and eventually I became quite a good shot. That gun was the main reason I became facinated with firearms. When I turned 16, I bought my first real gun, a Marlin 39A, but that's a different story. Here a pic of the Streak: |
