He married her when he was 14, and started sharecropping. Eventually made it out to California with his large family, and found a good job. He lived to see the lunar landings on TV.
This is kind of a thread within a thread, the generational talk woven around the talk of printable targets. But I was glad to get those target sites too, back when troylaplante first posted them.

Does anyone have or know where to find a printable Military BSZ target for the AR15/M16?

Problem for some reason was, it wouldn't let me save it to a flash drive. Did you have this problem? Anyone know why? Or what I can do so I can save it to either a flash drive or will I have to save them to a CD-Rom?
Thanks for any and all help...

Hey I just saw this thread. Cool. I'm a graphic designer and web programmer by profession so it was natural for me to kill time at the office by designing targets. Now I see there are a bunch of places to download and print your own for free? Figures. 
However, the ones I created are supposed to be fun and entertaining to use. Little challenges or trails of progression. And I can print them out on 11x17, which is nice.
Think anyone would pay for these:  "Gotta Getta Gun" Targets?
((I'm not trying to spam, honest!))
