	I'm maybe older, or got started younger. Late 60's, early 70's maybe. Born 59.

	I was born in 66 and i Didn’t shoot at Coyote until they shut down Sharp Park in Pacifica. F. Bob Chow and his wife shot with my dad's fishing and sailing buddy George Gonsalves.I never met Bob but apparently his wife was quite a shot herself. I worked at Tabors on El Camino sometimes when he needed help.

	Another. Later, a range out of Boulder Creek, out 236 and up Jamison Creek to Summit Road? Spent some time there. Even later, Los Altos Rod and Gun ... Skyline Blvd south of hwy 9 ... convenient, as a member to test/practice, on my way to work (flex hours) for a number of years... working in San Jose and later Mt View at Google. House in top end of Big Basin, a bit in off Hwy 9.

	I shot high-power at Los Altos and Chabot. back in the 70,'s and 80's the Bay Area was a pretty decent place to be a gun nut.Then came Boxer Pelosi and Feinstein...

	Tabor's ... sounds familiar. San Bruno .. ish,? Gun Rack, San Carlos or Belmont? 15 years old. Ruger M-77, 7mm mag... 'crookeder than a dog's hind leg' ... couldn't zero it at 100 yds. Son of my dad's shop foreman picked me up, too young for a driver's license. Scope cranked all the way down. Still 6" high at 100 yds. I fixed it, eventually. It's a 338 now ... not sure why ... LOL! Ellingson's, San Mateo... my favorite. Awesome Brown Bear in a case ... I still have way too much I bought there. 4" M-29, FWB M-65, a 308 M-77 that's still 'unfired' ... the M-27 I bought on my 21st birthday is in the hands of a good friend now ...

	Shot HP at Chabot a couple times. Mostly San Jose, Zouaves. Wound up club pres' for awhile. And on to Coalinga for the 'real' matches, got my badge there. Funny thing, maybe ... I never had any interest in shooting competitively... Zouaves was a place to shoot my surplus military 'junk' at 200 yds. First iteration of the 'assault weapons ban', 94?, club member organized a '2nd ammendment match' I shot it to support the movement. A couple years later started shooting it for the sport. Hooked ... Lots of great people I met along the way, Jim O'Connell, Bob Gill, the Coalinga gang, crew from the Sierra Foothills, which includes a huge chunk of the 'Grizzlies' junior team which terrorized Camp Perry for a number of years.

	At the golf course that I work at, in August 2020 we had a storm that's called a derecho and we lost over 100 trees. One of which was an American elm, the tree that I was the most sad to lose. We had one more elm left which unfortunately died of Dutch elm disease last year.
