Old man loves to boast about their past, telling stories about their gold days.\u00a0 Pat’s dad used to serve in the army, he always tell us his army stories.\u00a0 He is very proud of he won the first place in the army shooting competition.\u00a0 Unfortunately he last the trophy or medal or whatever certificate, so he couldn’t show us the prove.\u00a0 Every time when he told me that story, I intuitively assume he is just boasting like other old men.\u00a0 I think Pat also secretly doubt how trust worthy the story is.<\/p>\n
Today I bring him to the shooting range to have some father-in-law, son-in-law bonding.\u00a0 The last time he had touched a rifle was 40 years ago.\u00a0 His skill is a bit rusty at first, but he regain it fairly quickly.\u00a0 Provided that he haven’t fire a single shot for many years, his marksmanship is actually very good.\u00a0 He can put all ten rounds into the black circle, something that I can only archive on a good day.\u00a0 Now I have no doubt that he had won the shooting competition.\u00a0 Taking into account he has age quite a lot, I am pretty sure he shots better than I do when he was young.\u00a0 He looks so proud when he show the target sheet to Pat after we got home.\u00a0 I guess he must be very happy today.\u00a0 Not only that he enjoy shooting, he also proved his past glory.<\/p>\n
I guess shooting is like riding a bicycle, once you learn the skill, you will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
