37th season under my belt just recently, and have been involved with shooting in some way shape or form ever since I was a wee lad of 9ish years of age. What started with the single pump lever action daisy BB gun, has lead to a profession involving the M16 family of weapons, among others, for over 16 years now.
They can take my rifle when they pry it from my cold dead fingers!
The first gun I shot was a Browning .22 long rifle target pistol. I made my first gun purchase right after my 18th birthday. It was an Olympic Arms CAR-15. I love that gun.
21. My first day in the field was 3 weeks after I was born. Dad packed me up in the kiddy back pack and took me bow huntin. Been in the woods ever since.
45 years old, shooting 40yrs. Worked 6yrs. on trap ranges as a teen, belonged to 4 different gun clubs over the years, and the NRA. reloading ammo for 30yrs
Late 40s. I have had the privilege of shooting lots of different things with lots of different guns, in lots of different places. Blown a few things up too. (sigh...yippee...) Now, I just shoot targets, fuzzy animals, and I reload. Life is better when it is uneventful. Regards, NailGun.
23, started messing around with friend's 22s at about 14, got serious my second year of college at age 20. Since then I started a college shooting club, competed in USPSA, trap and skeet. Now I do mostly skeet and sporting clays with some varmint hunting in the summer.
Yes I still have both eyes but ---- almost lost my left one .
my neighbor and I were having little battle in my basement when I was 14
and he bounced one off the wall where I was hiding and hit me in the eye
just above the lash line.
I can still see but at my age I need glasses.
Gave my Maternal Grandma a shooting lesson with the .22 revolver she bought for me while pacing, waiting for the Stork to deliver me - at age 3.
Been shooting ever since in some kind of fashion, from hunting, competing, or assisting new shooters ever since.
There is truth in the rumors I went "a bit bonkers" in regard to shotguns and shotgun uses, I have never gotten into loading metallic - then again with as many as 11 shotgun shell reloaders up and running at the same time- I was a bit busy to get into metallic.
Reloaders not up and running were being backups, restored, collecting dust or holding the tarps down in the gargage/ storage places of pallets of some reloading supplies...
I was given a .22 single shot Stevens Favorite rifle and a box of .22 Shorts for my 6th birthday. The rifle, bought from a cousin, cost $5 and the Company Store, down the hill near the Headquarters, sold Shorts for 9¢ per box.
That was in 1937 and times were very different, especially for "country" boys. Dad wouldn't have trusted any of my "city" cousins anywhere around him with a gun.
I'll be 75 in a couple of months, so that will be an actual 69 years of hunting and shooting as of Dec. 15th.
