Question NRA Targets vs. NEA "Targeting"

At a summer camp on Winter Harbor, I achieved NRA "Sharpshooter" status.

Four years of woolen NRA patches were also stitched onto my uniform jacket. Let's see, am I leaving one out? Pro-Marksman, Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert. Was it eight "gold stars" at Sharpshooter to achieve Expert?

Anyway, the same rifle used at summer camp was the same caliber and manufacturer which I qualified with at U. S. Navy boot camp—Great Lakes, Illinois: 22LR Harrington & Richardson model 190.

In Florida, High School students transported rifles and shotguns in their vehicles in afternoon combat against the feral hogs that were ruining Clay County cropland.

But this was The South.

Up north, debate was burgeoning as to what bathroom to use!
