Yesterday target practice

all the time, since I was 11.

I go to the range regularly. Shoot rifles and handguns.

Sharpshooter medal in the Army.

Yes in a gun range.

Not a gun, a .22 Rifle.
On the farm I worked at in Esperance, 1990.
The owner wanted the Kangaroos off the property, gave me the rifle, easily 400 metres away.
Thankfully I missed.

Yes, love shooting. My dad taught me how to shoot along with gun safety when I was a kid. My husband and I have a range on our property and shoot often.

Yes. I hunted a lot as a kid and teenager. I also had access to big sawdust piles where we could shoot targets all day with our rifles. Ammo was cheap back then.

Yes. I was in the Army and afterwards as an engineer I used to design experimental ammunition for the government actually!

it's usually referred to as a leveractions, often with the year of design/original manufacture. like an 1884 (I think, I've not dug into them a whole lot). often quite a range of calibers you can get.
I've fired quite a few firearms, a bit of range. it's been a long time since I've thrown any lead. I tend to prefer pistols/have better general luck with them.

I started target shooting and hunting , with my dad, when I was a kid. I started deer hunting when I was an adult. I have a bolt action Remington 700, chambered in .30-06. Regarding your sore shoulder, I can relate. Prior to hunting season, I go to the range and fire 60 rounds for practice; the .30-06 has substantial recoil, and my shoulder is sore for a day or two after.

Yes.

Yes you nearly fall over when you shoot the thing

i often fantasize about hunting mammoth an 'atlatl'. but alas, winchester no longer makes this, and elephants are now 100% protected. however, bushmeat hunters and ivory poachers still take them with surplus russian AK47s

Yes. Several over the years.

Several guns and a few people

i've fired many guns

a gun was placed in my hands at 4 and i know it sounds stupid but it is the only smart thing my insane parents did ever....he put it in my hand and then held on to my hands as i shot at the target. the shock of it is why i never played with guns

Oh for sure 👌 went target shooting many times. Had to defend myself once as well & that was a year ago. I haven't fired a round ever since then though. Ammo has been expensive ever since COVID hit so I haven't gone target shooting like I used to

I have 2 rifles and a hand gun. I was in the army cadets at 13 and was shooting live rounds. Then went in to the TA and got my marksmanship award. I now shoot for fun and relaxing

Yess

yes

I used to shoot competitively. It was great fun. Maybe you were shooting a 30.30, They were a nice rifle. Not terribly accurate but they got the job done.

Last time I fired a gun was maybe ten years ago. Doesn't really give me the same excitement

Yes
From 50 cal, light machine guns to rifles and pistols
Never fired a shotgun before tho

Only a ball-bearing gun and even then I'm more dangerous to anyone stood behind me than in front of me.

{@mariannezap] 🤔i have fired an air rifle but that was well over thirty years ago now

Took riflery as a kid at summer camp. We fired .22-caliber rifles at paper targets.

@mariannezap sounds like you fired a Winchester Model 94. I shoot almost every weekend...

Yes. Many of time. It has been a long while though.

No. But I'm going to learn that and shotgun.

I exercise my 2nd Amendment rights regularly

Nope, never even held one I don't think. 🤔

Just a friend's BB gun, once upon a time.

I like to shoot guns too but my favorite is archery. 🏹

I’ve always owned a few guns, so yes.

Not recently just as a kid

Many times and types

never even held a gun

Yes

Nope

yep

Nope. 🤫

Nope

Not recently. My grandfather taught me how, years ago.

My Dad gave me his shotgun when I was about 10 or 11 years old...So that would be a yes.

Yep. 9mm and .40 pistols.

Just .22s and a shotgun.

No. Maybe someday I will.
