Shooting hammer guns

I never broke 100, but I got pretty handy with the little gun. I took my first double ever on Pheasant in the mountains of Italy. It's one hell of a lot of fun. You can't go wrong.

I lived in London in 19fifty seven. I was 13. It was wonderful. I learned to ride the buses and the underground and the world of London was my oyster. Wonderful museums. Great movie theatres. Blitz damage all over the place. Funny money. Today the Blitz damage is fixed and the money is different and I'm 80! Different.
