When Did You Start To Use A Gun?

I was about 8. My grandaddy wanted me to shoot before I could walk and he taught me everything I know. I started with single shot rifle, then moved up to Ak-47 at about 15. But I only own a few rifles. I never became a big gun guy. You?

When I was about 9 or 10, I fired a rifle at a cardboard target while spending time at a hunting lodge, one winter.

@Sidewinder I hope that it was not the last time, you shot a gun. 🤔

@ChadJNSD you can say that if you believe that 😂

@ChadJNSD Actually, it was the first, last and only time I ever fired a real gun. Personally, I'm more of a guy who favors ancient melée weapons. (particularily nunchaku, sai, tonfa and the katana)

@Sidewinder I have been in Karate for over 40 yrs. and have trained with all the weapons you mentioned. A gun simply has more "reach" than most all traditional martial arts weapons. And that's just for starters.
