My age group...

I don't see this as an age thing either. But if you hear an idiot, or group of same at a range, chances are they weren't taught to shoot by their fathers. Or taught much of anything by their fathers. If a father was in the picture at an early age, then you rarely see disrepectful young, or old men. But then again that's the main problem with the world as I see it.

In response to OP thread one, welcome to the world, get used to it. I suggest you find THR members to shoot with, always been great chaps in my experience. Safe, honest, trigger happy examples of what you're looking for.

JEB,

I am really surprised to hear that you live in the country in IA and have no friends that shoot. The only thing I know about IA is from the hunting videos that I watch, but it seems like everyone there hunts or at least should by the size of the deer that yall have.

I hear you about the video games. That is the exact same thing I say to people when they start talking about some cool gun in a video game "they are a lot more fun to shoot in real life". I have actually used several friend's interests in video games to get them out shooting. They are usually surprised how hard it is to hit what they are aiming at.
