OK I've been looking at this and the other thread (a tad younger members) and I see pics of all nature so here is about 3 oldies of meinself for consideration (from my web site)
16 years old in 1951 - running my own riding stable in NH
1st buck - taken at Camp Pendleton, CA 1959 I was 24, the buck was 5 1/2 (I was a late starter)
Lunch break at Cherry Point, NC in 1965 @ 30 yoa I didn't get into Bows enough for pictures until I was 56 and then not trad bows 'till after 2000 (Told ya I was a late starter)
(Oh, if the pics aren't suitable subject matter just pull the handle marked "Flush" - remember those?)

Bernie, if you were 16 in 1965, how could you be 24 years old in 1959
That's really Leanardo DeCapreo (sp) in the 1st picture isn't it?

LOL Ron, (My gosh, I did look a little like he would in later years, huh?) I knew I was flirtin' with the danger of runnin' out of fingers doin' all that cipherin'. It is just my multiple entities - ha-ha. Actually it was a mis-type mis-take (since edited) and I was 16 in '51 Thanks for cathing it, Ron.

LOL, I figured it was a type-o on your part. Man you are an old duffer aren't you, you're a year older than me
You sure do look like that Leanardo guy. When I was young everybody thought I looked like Elvis

I used to have someone in the family that smoked that (I think my Grandfather on Ma's side). Anyway I always had plenty of those nice flat cans to put earthworms in to go brook truoting when I was a kid - slipped in the back pocket great.
