I'm now 62 and no longer shoot competitively. I started shooting competitively at the tender age of 8, with the Delran Junior marksman club. As I got older, I shot in the south jersey pistol league. I shot with my Smith and Wesson model 41 pistol and my Ruger 10/22. This is just some of the medals I won. I have a few trophies and other awards at my other house. Oakie

I didn't start shooting competitively until I was in my early 30's. Then it was all .22RF in adult smallbore, and Bullseye 2400 matches using 3 pistols for the 3 stages. I worked my way up from beginner to Master over about 2.5 years, and loved shooting. During that time I won medals, plaques, trophies for various matches with the team, and individual matches. Most the ribbon medals are in a box, and plaques or trophies are hanging out in a corner of our finished basement in the entertainment center. Along with car trophies I've wont for hotrods I've built.
My favorite trophy is winning the Roadster Show here in the "Nostalgia Hotrod Class" for my old Austin Gasser. But a close 2nd I didn't even win! It's a trophy dated June 1918 for first place at the Denver Rifle Club with the name "L.G. Pridy" and the rest the info on the cup. It came to me along with his cased Ballard 3 barrel set with his name on the case also. It sits front center on top of my gun safe where I see it often.
