MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE

I have a passion for sailing, I don’t think that is a secret. It is a time consuming sport, leaving little for other pursuits. I really found shotguns later in life, I have almost always owned a gun, but never took the time to understand the sport of guns. I was introduced to shotgun sports by Jimmy Gublemann, with whom I attended St. George’s School, where we played hockey and sailed, continuing ever since. Jimmy can make anything fun.

We are the same age, we are grandparents to two grandchildren each, and have the same aches and pains like anyone else our age; including failing eyesight. Shooting is 99% eyes; hence our scores have adjusted about equally; worse than we remember.

Today, I spent a great relaxing day shooting clay targets with Jimmy, his son Bingo, and a group of sailors. November’s weather has been kind to us in the Northeast, today was no exception with the temperature above 60 and blue skies and high clouds.
