I enjoy the challenge each type of firearm provides. I shoot pistols to improve my handling for concealed carry and personal protection, and as long as I'm consistently hitting center mass at 20 yards, the 10X is of no matter to me. Now, rifles, I enjoy the precision that goes with being able to cut a half-dollar-sized hole in the target at a couple hundred yards (a goal I am still working on, BTW). For now keeping them in an eight inch circle tickles me to death. And shotgunning is becoming a true addiction. Tracking that 4" piece of plaster and watching it disappear in a puff of smoke when you get a direct hit feels great. When you get several like that, or a round of 20+ hits, is pure Nirvanna.
