My dad was a hunter and shooter. I have many photos from the 1940s and early 1950s showing him shooting a 7.5" Colt SAA (must have been a 1st Gen and it looks pristine in the pics), posing in deer camp with other successful hunters and several deer, etc. But unfortunately he died when I was a small child and mom had to sell the guns to eat.
I mostly learned about guns and shooting growing up in the 1960s by reading the magazines. Elmer Keith, Jeff Cooper, Skeeter Skelton and a few others taught me about guns.
I added one of the pictures from the album. Dated 1951 taken somewhere in South Dakota.
