VG, I was totally joking about shooting the antenna off.
Field Grade is an absolute pro when it comes to anything firearms related, shooting, or handling. We did joke about shooting the antenna off though!
When I was a kid, about 12 years old, I would sit in my Dad's 1972 Ford pickup and wait for starlings to land on the roof of the barn. They would only land for a few seconds before they went into the barn so you had to shoot pretty quick. Well in the process of getting a quick shot, I failed to see the mirror and sent a .22 bullet through the corner of the mirror. Man, I figured I was dead and my .22 was gone... When Dad came home I told him exactly what happened and I think he could see that I felt real bad because he told me about creasing the hood of the first car he had while shooting squirrels. Lesson learned on my part though!
