My dad wanted to teach me to shoot, so we hopped in the jeep with some empty milk jugs, rifle, and ammo. It was either fall or spring. Grey wet cold day, my favorite weather for shooting ever since. We filled up milk jugs with water and plinked them and watched them drain. I thought it was the best thing ever.
Then I asked my dad if people bled like that when he shot them in Nam, and he got real quiet for a minute, said "no" and then told me to pack up, time to go home. Oops. I didn't know any better.
When I turned 18 I bought a Ruger Gunsite Scout chambered in 308 with saved up money. 21 now and I own the original scout, custom built ar15 and a Remington 700. Poor college fag, otherwise I would add more to my collection. I shot my first round at a local range . I had no clue what I was doing and didn't even bother to buy ear protection. I heard ringing for a week.

didnt go shooting again for about 10 years, when I did the Hunter Education course and they took us to the range. Cops even came so we could shoot their pistols. There was a guy with some BP muzzle loaders too.
A few months later, I shot my first deer. 1 shot out of a month of walking through forest and driving up oilfield roads. Next time was another 11 years, bought my SKS and took it out for 2 separate shooting sessions, around 300rds. That was a year ago and I haven't gone since.

After all the class there was the field test with fake animals. Lastly was the shooting range.
Get handed a rifle literally taller than I was. Five shots. I ask if they're all rounds designed for the fun and set up at the table. Bolt action them all in.
Fuck that targets way far off.
I line up and shoot. Miss. Shoot again. Miss. Fuck. Shoot again. Miss. Shoot again. Miss.
At this point I can hear everyone behind me talking about how it's story be expected that I miss all the shots, what with being a tinyfag.
Final shot. Lock it in and shoot...PING! that little round target practically further away than I can see goes spinning about.

I had a great fucking time, especially the shotgun part, although I was scrawny and they didn't really tell us what to do, just kinda have us the gun, let us have fun as long as we were safe. Because of these, the 20ga almost knocked me over and I fucked up my arm like >>28028549 by shooting with the stock on my arm, not my shoulder.
Despite having such a great time, it was actually airshit + cod that later got me really into guns, not this experience.

My shot placement was absolutely terrible, but I felt like a boss the rest of the day. Plus, it snowed. We lived in Memphis, TN then, so snow was a big deal for us kids. That was a great day, and I'm glad I got to share it with my family. I'm also glad my Dad protected my idiot kid self from getting the jammed thumb of a lifetime.
Thanks for this thread, OP. Got me reminiscing.

I was a little scared but got used to it after a few shots. My dad shot his 45 and showed me the rules and all that. I shot the 45 and set it down after one round, I was scared shitless of the 45 until I was about 10.
