jilverthor Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) You mean besides the fact that the kid is closing the eye that he should be using to aim? ETA: Maybe I am just going blind and his right eye is more open than his left. I am looking at it more and second guessing.

I survived all of the above too and also a bucket load of stupid things I did when Mom wasn't looking! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 At about that age, we'd disappear into the woods over the weekend and camp. We were allowed to have firearms, fire, knives, hatchets, fireworks, and pointy sticks. If you got hurt really bad, it was pretty much your own dumb-ass fault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If you got hurt really bad, you didn't go home. You took medical advice from a bunch of 8 year olds. Spit and dirt would cure most of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had those anytime and in many places. No one I knew got hurt by guns as a child. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biggsly Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I remember BB gun wars, before paint ball and air soft. Building sketchy ramps out of whatever we could find to jump our bikes. Camping out in a tent with no adults around. Now college kids need a safe place when they get their feelings hurt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
