Podcast Outline:
My Father, Bryant Martin Branam has the rifle he first bought. He handed it down to me about 5 years ago so I could teach my son how to shoot on it. A great way to start with youth and to keep them in it for a while. My son, now 7, wants to outgrow it already. He wants to shoot my AR more then the .22 already.
My father bought this rifle from Montgomery-Wards back in the early 60’s. It’s so old it doesn’t have a serial number. He walked into the department store with his mother (in a wheel chair at the time) and walked out with a rifle. “The good old days.”
I fired my first round out this .22. I wish I could say I made the hit and that I haven’t missed since, but… You know how that goes.
I hope this inspires you to find that small thing you can pass down and create or keep a tradition going. Whatever it is, take the time to film it and save that file ever where so that in the future your children’s children can see who you were.
Thanks for listening, don’t forget to check out the Shooter’s Club, and if you need ammo check out Lucky Gunner.
Stay Safe,
Ben
