Christmas Past — A Legend in the Making
Waylon Jennings famously crooned: “Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys”. Well the young fella in the fuzzy photo didn’t grow up to be a cowboy, but he did become one of the greatest rifle shooters in history. Can you guess who this is?
(Answer will be revealed in tomorrow’s Daily Bulletin).
The photo was taken on a Christmas morning, decades ago, when our mystery man was around three years old. He told us: “Starting with toy guns, then BB guns, then 22s, and then centerfires — doing stuff with rifles was just part of my upbringing. This is something I did with my family. That’s my grand-dad in the photo with me.” What happened to the toy six-shooters and fancy double-holster rig? Our mystery subject lamented: “Oh that’s long gone. Wish I still had that rig, it would bring back memories….”

Is it G. David Tubb?
I believe that’s Carl Bernosky.
I’m guessing David G. Tubb
I will say that it is Tony Boyer.
You know its the 50’s when a kid is playing with two toy pistols and a pipe. Love it!
My guess is Carl.

He is most definately David Tubb.
Don’t know who….but he’s in Grampa’s way of the TV.
Carl Bernosky. Look at that nose!
G. David Tubb looks just like the adult in the picture
Bob Munden the coolest shooter that ever lived.
Either Tubb or Mid Tompkins.
Ok, that explains why I had trouble posting. And, my comment got edited…I am not “guessing” that it is Carl. I wrote what I wrote for a reason.
My guess,Tony Boyer
Bob Munden.

The guy behind the kid looks like Dr. Strangelove.
