Yeager Shootin’ WWII Carbine

January 18th, 2014

GCY’s younger brother, Hal, tells this story about GCY:

Chuck took the Carbine that somehow got to Hamlin after WW II, and gave me a license plate and told me to put it on the bank about 30-35 yards across the road…
I did and set it so it was facing Chuck broadside,
He said: “NO, set it so the edge is facing me…”
Which I did…
Chuck squatted down in the back door of the kitchen and leaning against the door facing…
Split that license plate.
Twice…..
and that was with G.I. Ammo, and the old “L Peep sights”.
That was some shootin gun.  *&lt):) cowboy
Editor’s note: Or some good shooter shooting :-)
GCY’s response to “Do you remember that” is classic Yeager: Yeah.
Hal continued: I killed my first WV Buck with that Carbine as well as my first Texas Buck.
Editor’s note: Again, or some good shooter shooting – after all, Hal, Jr. is a Yeager.
Editor’s note: Thank you for this, Hal!
