This brings tears to my eyes. Nope, I didn't make it to Woodstock. I had other things going on.

Always like the song.
Was a little young for Woodstock, only 10 yrs. old in '69.

Well...I have a time or two.
Once after being shot in the face, nose and corner of right eye. Edit: with a paintball gun.
Detached retina, No safety glasses, then for a day after a cataract surgery.

So yet another survivor of the famous BB Gun "You're gonna shoot your eye out with that".
You found other ways.

Lol, it was a paintball gun. I some how left that out of the above post.

Summer of 69, I was an IP at Ft. Wolters, Texas, listening to that hippie music and teaching others how to not kill themselves or their crew on their upcoming adventure in SE Asia.

I have two just like it. Last summer I shot one of them almost nonstop. After a 5,000 round jar it finally gave up the ghost.

I actually have four or five if I could find them all. I have three antiques and two of the newer ones. All my Grandkids learned to shoot with them except one, and his Mother is slowly weakening.
