Christmas 1969. I was five years old and don't remember asking for a shooting gallery, but it's a Christmas morning I won't ever forget.

This Marx Electro Shoot was probably the biggest present I had received at Christmas up until that point. It was from Santa, so it was not wrapped, and was easily the biggest gift under the tree, so I was immediately the envy of my brother and sister, well..my brother anyway.

I can't begin to count the hours I spent squinting my eye, aiming for the ducks, the clowns head, everything that was under the hood was fair game.

It's a nice Christmas memory and feels good to re-visit.
