Well Mine wasn't quite age related,
but when I took up smallbore shooting in 1987,

it was a very steep learning curve, and a few years later one of our (much younger than I) more experienced club members, who had shot in commonwealth games and olympics asked me what my ambition was.......well says I, I'd like to be able to shoot as well as you.
his answer wasn't very encouraging, but I am catching him up.......at least I CAN at times beat his missus........

Belated birthday greetings Les, and congratulations on your 61st Wedding Anniversary too, haven't you both done well?

You have helped me decide my target! I want to outlive you, so at 67 that means I have to do at least another 34 yrs if you are going to hit 100!

lots of love to you both

Getting older need not be a frightening experience. Us oldies have the experience of making mistakes (many of them), learning from some of them, and moving on.

Mind you, old age has given me a thick skin & I'm a bit deaf plus my mind wanders. My memory goes back to at least half past eight this morning. That was when I had a soft-boiled egg & soggy soldiers. Delicious whether false teeth are in or out.

Well done Les & 'herself'.
