We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

I was 10, at about 50 yards, but the deer was running accross a dirt road. I hit it in the neck with a bolt action Remington .243

I did do an NRA Hunter's Safety Course and did some shooting in the Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts, but not really for competition. I'm a hell of a shot though.

I ran cross country and track. We didn't have very many teams.
