Hi Folks,
Yes to Reagan and QE II.
Ron is well known, but the Queen was quite a woman in her younger days. She shot rats with a tommy gun (Winston Churchill's gun) just for practice. She was trained on an Enfield, Long Lee. OH! She could fix your truck too.
Queen Elizabeth learned to shoot as a princess with Winston Churchill?s Tommy Gun, loaned to the royal family as they prepared for the Nazi invasion.
The show told the little-known story of how Elizabeth, 14 at the time, and her younger sister Margaret, 10, were taught to shoot in Buckingham Palace gardens in London as the royal family awaited invading German paratroopers during WWII
?Queen Elizabeth did learn how to shoot a pistol in the gardens of Buckingham Palace,? Queen Elizabeth?s cousin Margaret Rhodes told the BBC.
?I suppose quite rightly, she thought if parachutists came down and whisked them away somewhere, she could at least take a parachutist or two with her,? she added.
The Queen reportedly used rats found inside Buckingham Palace for target practice.

That's amazing. I wonder what that was like, learning to shoot as little princesses.
