    Made me think of shooting clay targets from the hip. I had a gentleman that worked part time for me that shot for Winchester after WWII. He could hit 25 straight skeet targets from the hip. I saw John Satterwhite back in the 1980s do a show like this:

    NRA Board of Directors Election

    I became a life member around 1980, I think I paid $75, it was on sale from a regular $125 if I remember correctly. High inflation in the early 80's even worse than now, really raised the price.

    Bacon Fat for Bombs

    Throughout WWII, butter was rationed, and the variety of cooking fats we have today didn’t yet exist, so housewives often saved bacon fat for cooking.
