Well Not the most antique photos from Shorpy....but I recently had a chance to scan some old photos of My Brothers and I target shooting! Had to be early 1970's! My Nephew dropped them off at my house ( I actually remember this outing!) I had 4 living brothers during my life time...Although my Mom had 5 other children that never survived for me to know them.....big family it would have been 9 kids....& I was the youngest!
But of the 3 I grew up with, My Brother Frank was most likely in Vietnam at this time So this are photos of my eldest Brother "Edge" Edward Jr. and my brother Bernie who past a few years ago!. Those two brothers are who I learned to hunt with and shoot with...they started me at age 11.....My Dad at that time was not hunting anymore but he did his best to also train me in the skills of the hunter and shooter in our living room!.
Anyway these photos are very special to me and I would like to share them with you folks.
Now it is only me ( the youngest) and My Brother Edge (the oldest) of the family left....they are bad quality snapshots and even my skills in photoshop can not make them any better but they mean the world to me!
Below: L to R Brother Bernie, Me and Brother Edge Posing under the 100 yard target we all took turns at!
