I was 9, and knee deep in helping on the farm. The only shooting I was doing was putting birds in the bag, and keeping wild dogs off the cows. I still love the old school trucker hats.

Wow. I never could keep them things on my head, or comfortable. I sure don't have mine, but I can tell you where I left the last 2 pairs. One was in a parking lot in Zanesville, Ohio...where I purposely and repeated ran them over with my car after tossing them across the lot in frustration. They other was flung into the desert in Dubai.

After that, it was Oakley Frogskins for me. I was running them in the early 90's. Just looked them up...kinda funny what Oakley says about them:

FROGSKINS SUNGLASSES

In pop culture, it was a time like no other. Ronald Reagan was in the White House, “The Terminator” was in the box office and Run-D.M.C. was in certified gold. It was also the time when Oakley created one-of-a-kind sunglasses called Frogskins®. We resurrected the original tooling from the early ’80s giving you a chance to own a piece of history.
Thank you,

Frogskins were cool. Nice that they brought them back.

I was up to my elbows in kid crap and vomit (pediatric residency), and hadn't shot much more than a friend's Ruger Security Six.

I was only 8 yrs. old. The only shooting I was doing was a BB gun and the neighbor's cat or an occasional window.
