    My grandfather took me shooting for the first time when I was 8. I remember he handed me a little 22 Remington. Told me to "point it down at that stump" he helped me put it to my shoulder. "Pull the trigger when your ready" and bang my first shot fired. He helped me shoot for the rest of the day. He bought me my first rifle a 308 Winchester. Good memories! On Christmas morning in 2011 he pulled me aside from everyone else, told me hes got cancer and that when he passes he wants me to have his guns. He pulled a long box out and said "dont open it until I'm gone." The day he passed I opened the box, it was his m1 grand and 1911 from ww2 along with a hand written letter from my pappy. It was about how this rifle had saved his life and how he traded a few bullets for a can of beans. I still have every single one of his guns except my 308 which my son has now and I taught him to shoot at the same stump with the same little 22 remington. That man changed my life I couldnt have asked for anything more. Thanks for the read y'all. Be safe out there. And god bless.

    My great grandfather was the one to teach me how to shoot my first gun. He always used the same one with me. When he passed, my great grandmother said he told her to give me "Grandpa's gun". When I finally got, I held it to my shoulder and started crying. It's not the same to shoot it without him by my side telling me all kinds of stories. I miss him so much. I love you, Great Grandpa. Rest easy, you old man. I'll see you again someday.

When I become a teenager as some do made some really poor decisions and became addicted to alcohol and drugs. Dropped out of school and saw no future in sight. They took me in and I graduated with their love and prayers. He taught me so much and glad I had him in my life. He was and still is an amazing man in my life. Thanks Pa.

    I'm a granddaughter, so I didn't get this experience growing up, nor have I ever used a gun, but I still teared up. It makes me miss my grandfathers so much, especially my paternal one. We didn't get to spend a lot of time together as I grew up once he moved to Georgia but I adored him more because of it. My maternal grandfather and I weren't close until the last few years of his life, but he still lived with us for 20 years and that left it's own mark on me. Cancer took them all too soon, before I could fully appreciate them. Anyone who has grandparents, cherish them.

    My grandfather was a fiercely intelligent and cold man, tough as iron and the patient provider for his family.
    He's in his 90s now and deep in the late stages of dementia. I was his first grandson, and he doesn't know me, or his daughter. Sometimes he doesn't even know his wife of 60 years.
    I found his baby footprints in a pile of documents sorting through his belongings the other day, amazing how life goes so quickly. One day you're an infant, next you're gone. Fast enough that a piece of paper can be testament to your entire existence.
    Things don't mean much, but I was left his old Ithaca 37- absolutely pristine as he only ever hunted with his brother. I'll keep it as best I can and send it down the line when I get old.
    Something to remember the old man by when his kids and grandkids are gone.

He came home, seriously wounded, but not broken. Got married, started a business, raised us 3 kids, sending us all through college. He never spoke of the 'War' to his kids but he clearly had been changed by it. Iam thankful for his service and make sure my 4 kids know his story.

    Makes me feel for all the fatherless children in the world. But encourages me to teach and tell young men that we all have a heavenly father who loves and cares for us more than we could ever comprehend. And all that he has and is is at our disposal when we come to the understanding that He is our all in all..

    This song took me back to when I first learned to shoot, first shotgun i shot was my great grandpa’s, and i lost my great grandpa last year. This song brought back all the memories of my early shooting days and it makes me realize how far i came in my shooting career. Great Grandpa Jim, you will be missed. It also made me think of all the times my dad and my grandpa helped me get to the point i am with shooting sports. Whether it is a shotgun or a knife, anything that a grandparent, great grandparent, or parent gives us, it means way more to us than it does to anyone else.

    My dad and i heard this song for the first time together over the fourth of july, standing in a crowd of people yelling and screaming and talking, we both heard the song and listended carefully and we both were tearing up and just gave each other a hug, like the song sais, its not about what you kill with the gun its the experiences and centimental value u get from things like this. no matter how much an item could be like a gun, the centimental value for materialistic things always over rules actual value.

    My husband passed a little over a year ago. He was adopted by a man age 50 and wife 49 when he was 18 mths old. They were simple country folk and he loved them dearly. He called them Mom and Pop.
    Pop took him hunting and fishing from the time he was 4 until he became ill and passed.
    My husband didn't have any sons and the daughters didn't like the outdoors. So it was him and I out there hunting and fishing. My husband became disabled before his first grandchild, a boy was born. That boy called him Papa. We ended up raising him from 10 mths on.
    By golly, disability aside, he taught him to shoot every gun he had. He taught him to fish and to hunt. Always told him, "Boy, only shoot what the family needs to eat. There's others out there needing the same."
    When my husband passed, that grandson was 13. Papa handed down all of Pops guns to that little man. I feel like in many ways that song is about Pop, Papa and his boy.

      What a touching story. I started hunting at 10 years old, I learned to shoot using an old 20 bore Fox Double. Actually my brother and my father who had learned to shoot in the Marines so you can imagine the gun safety lessons I recieved from the both of them, they taught me to shoot and be safe. I don't recall being told that if I was not safe I would pay dearly for it but I knew it was not a toy, I was walking the woods with the both of them from the time I was 5 or 6 years old and I knew that a weapon of any kind was not a toy if i wanted to see any of them I was to ask first. Then when I was able to get my hunting licence at 10 my father went with me and I was the only one in hunter safety course who through my own efforts among people of ages into their 50's that scored a 100 on the written test. Gun safety was the first and most important thing to keep in mind. I remember getting my first head of game over the bird dog ( an English Setter) we had just gotten. She was an awsome dog who was able to handle a covey of quail, pheasants or ruffed grouse and woodcock. She was a constant companion for me in those days into my early 20's until she wasn't able to hunt any longer because of arthritis she developed.

    Today is my Granddad's birthday. He passed away on the 6th of February this year. I miss him so much. It's really hard to accept he's gone. I guess I just thought he'd live forever. If I wasn't able to see him on his birthday I would always call him to wish him a happy birthday, and tell him I love him. I feel like there is an emptiness in my heart right now. I just want to pick up the phone and call him like I always did. This song means a lot to me because in the week leading up to my Granddad's passing he gave my son a gun that was given to him by his Father many years ago. I named my son after my Granddad's father. I knew how much my Granddad's parents meant to him, and so I named my son after his Dad because I knew it would mean a lot to him. I just wanted to make him proud. I've never had my own father in my life, so my Granddad was the closest thing to a Dad I've ever had. He was such a good man. I miss him so much. But I know he's up there waiting for me. I'll see him again one day. I love you, Granddad! I hope I'm making you proud. Save a spot for me on your porch swing in heaven

    My grandpa was a big rabbit hunter, and died recently at the ripe old age of 84. He used to take me hunting with him as a kid for rabbits where I would use his 28 gauge Remington 1100, and he would use his double barrel 12 gauge. I got both of those guns from him, along with a pistol, and I cherish those guns and the memory’s they have given me with that great old man. He was a mentor and like a second father to me.

    This sing never gets old and brings a tear to my eye. It speaks the life i live. Im 24 and i have over 30 guns. My poppy gave them all to me. He still around. He will be 76 soon. He fought in korea. I would have went to fight too. But he always told me not to. I took his word. And songs like this make me treasure the time i have with him. All these guns will go to my kids one day. I wouldent sell them for nothing. The memories with them are priceless. He tought me how to fish and how to hunt. I wouldent be the man i am today without him. God bless you poppy. For everything.

    just got a single barrel H&R from my grandpa, and this song reminds me of him and I so much, it makes me so thankful for a blessed family.

    I feel this deeply even in 2021. Grandad gave me an ole 3030 lever gun. I know he talking about a shotgun but the feels are still the same.

    This song brings chills to me. Because I'm not ready to face the fact my grandfather from my fathers side, and my great grandfather from my mothers side's, time on earth is about to come to an end.
    My grandfather from my mothers side passed away before I was born from lung cancer...
