I do target shooting as a hobby but I’m genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it’s culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

    I grew up in the American south and we had lots of guns when I was a kid. Me and my dad would go out target shooting on weekends and I always thought it was fun. As an adult I haven’t really kept up with it. After my dad passed away I just kind of lost interest. I have a few of those old handguns and rifles still but they just stay locked up in a cabinet at the back of my closet now.

    It was pretty much just always something fun I got to do with my dad.

      Remember that guns that haven’t been used for a long time will usually benefit from a clean and re-oil in order to work smoothly … should you feel the urge to freshen up your skills in the current political climate.
