I can vividly remember carrying the Model 67 Winchester on our farm in the mornings hunting rabbits while my dad carried the .22 shorts in his bib overall pocket. We would walk the fence rows and creek bottom and whenever we’d spot a rabbit, my dad would reach into his pocket and dig out a .22 short and give me the same speech every.....single...... time. “If you guy shoot that rabbit, I’ll kick your little ass.....that’s food for the table and we don’t need to waste meat. Shoot the grape (referring to the rabbit’s eye).” As a kid I didn’t realize that my dad trying to instill in me to concentrate on the shot every time and always making the shot count. What it ultimately did was develop confidence and that confidence meant everything in the world when I became a handgun hunter. In the last decade of my dad’s life, he often told me that those morning rabbit hunts on our farm was one of the best investments of time in his life.
