Family
I got my first Daisy bb gun long before I could shoulder the stock and still reach the trigger, so I shot with the stock in my armpit. My grandpa lived in the city and we often shot beer cans filled with water and the big star on the Lone Star box made a good bullseye. (If you're listening grandpa, sorry to make you sound like a drunk
Later we did quit a bit of plinking, clays, and a little bird hunting. Starting in my high school and college years my main focus was dirt bike racing, but whenever I was out of commission due to injury I always seemed to re-focus on the gun hobby. My latest shooting hobby growth spurt has been going on for two years now since I broke my femur.
Even though my family (especially my dad) introduced me to the hobby, he still thinks I went a little off the deep end, and can't understand why I need anything more than a rifle, shotgun and a .22. Much less a half dozen handguns.
