this bit of information is mainly about never being to old to shoot. mr elwood cullers was kind enough to teach me how to shoot round ball many years ago. he did this by whipping me time after time. i had the choice to either turn tail and quit or put the effort in to make myself better. i decided to do the work and got to where i could shoot pretty decent. elwood and I always looked forward to shooting against each other. we always worked hard to try and beat one another because we knew that it only made us better. i was a lotta fun.
my mentor will soon be 70 years old. hes had some physical problems of late but nothing that couldnt be fixed. his shooting isnt what it once was but hes still pretty dam good when he wants to be. the one shoot that he always looked forward to has been the west va offhand championship. they shoot a little bit of everything there. its one of the premier east coast roundball shoots. top shooters from all over come to see who the top dog will be. this years shoot was held this past weekend. the top winner this year was an almost 70 year old gentleman who looks and acts like santa claus. mr cullers relived his past and won the match again beating the best shooters in several states. so for all of us who sometimes think we are to old to shoot, we need to give some thought to mr cullers. it would seem hes never to old to get the job done.
