I get that, until fairly recently our military was training one handed. It wasn’t until maybe around the 80’s when the two handed shooting grip became the norm. The Shift to Two-Handed Shooting The "Modern Technique" (1950s–1970s): In the late 1950s, competitive shooter Jack Weaver and Marine Corps veteran Jeff Cooper developed and popularized two-handed pistol stances (such as the Weaver stance). They proved that two-handed shooting delivered vastly superior control, faster follow-up shots, and better accuracy under stress. Military Adoption (1980s): While specialized forces and tactical units began using two-handed methods earlier, the general military doctrine shifted in the 1980s. The U.S. Army formally codified two-handed combat pistol techniques into official doctrine with updates to Field Manual 23-35 (such as the 1988 revision, Combat Training with Pistols and Revolvers). This official switch coincided with the adoption of the 9mm Beretta M9 in 1985 to replace the M1911A1, as well as the widespread issue of body armor, which favored facing targets chest-forward (Isosceles stance) rather than bladed sideways.

Wait, you’re NOT going to look into these? Why not?

My town has a bus service the schools use called First Child, there’s a high school and middle school combined, 4 elementary schools and a preschool/ kindergarten. Theres still lot of cars picking up the kids but nothing that causes traffic woes.

All shooting duelist style!

Alabama has a girl that plays shortstop and also pitches. She’s bigger than most of the boys on the team and is a really good player. #16 The girl wearing #16 on Alabama’s Phenix City Little League team is Kinley Rasmus. She’s a 12-year-old pitcher and shortstop and has been one of the standout players at the 2026 Little League World Series.

It serves girls roughly ages 4–16, with the main Little League division for ages 9–12. Note: Girls can play the next steps in baseball all the way to college baseball if they’re good enough.

I’ve had good luck with Kirkpatrick leather.

Pretty good movie with Dan Dureya as Al Jennings a real historical figure Al Jennings was a real historical figure. The 1951 Western Al Jennings of Oklahoma, starring Dan Duryea, was based—loosely—on his life. Alphonso J. “Al” Jennings (1863–1961) was an Oklahoma Territory lawyer who later became a train robber and outlaw. After being captured and imprisoned, he was eventually pardoned and later entered politics and worked in Hollywood as an actor and technical adviser

Actually Gunsmoke used 92 rifles set in 1870-1880 Bonanza tried to be accurate in its early days and used cap and ball revolvers. They loaded them with cartridges though. All the TV westerns were using 92’s!

Dollys imagination library that Blackwater mentioned. What a great thing! Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. 📚 It was started by Dolly Parton in 1995. The program provides free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, mailed directly to their homes. It began in Dolly’s home county in Tennessee and has since expanded internationally, including throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia
