So a friend of mine who's been to Iraq, wanted to tak my hubby and I to an outdoor shooting range. Never been to one and I have never shot a gun before. It was an assault rifle. Have to say, that it was very intresting. I even saved the first bullet that I shot.

I shot a shotgun when I was a lot younger.

The milk jug never saw it coming.

Nope, I haven't.

Wouldn't mind trying a shooting range, though...

Started with BBs as a kid. Just target shooting really. Moved up later on to the usual rifles. Not sure what kind they were... I know I was lucky enough to get the semi automatic one. I'll go to a range every now and again just to mess around with some targets or do some skeet shooting with a shotgun. I also do archery from time to time.

(I've also fired an NES Zapper if that means anything to you guys. )

I've never even held a gun before. I don't think that there are any shooting ranges around here that I could go to try either .

I've fired one of those, too.

I almost looked for a Super Scope too, but decided against it. Good thing, my SNES is pretty much unusable. :/

I've fired both a Zapper AND a Super Scope, punks.

And a bunch of arcade light guns as well.

Real guns, though... eh... can think of better things to do with my time than go to a shooting range.

Mostly hunting stuff, but yeah I have.

A 12 caliber's recoil is kinda big when you're younger.

kuh-POING!


I have. I think at one point I might've even fired off a sniper rifle (it had a scope that had a very distant scope view), althouggh as you can probably guess I didn't hit what I was aiming for.

(It was, like many things, a milk jug, although granted it was already more swiss cheese than anything)

Killed a squirrel with one before. Carbine; nasty business. Fired multiple pistols and revolvers at my friend's dad's "Shootin' car", as he called it. Some nondescript car that they all shoot at. Filled with bullet holes. Got a chance to shoot a magnum that day. Damn near broke my wrist.

Good times.

I've shot a gun before!

...in a shooter. What, did you mean real guns? Oh... nope. I've fired one of those guns filled with pellets, the name of which escapes me at the moment, though.

I have not, but I sometimes have this tendency to do so.

Yea, a few times. Not as big on it as my father or his friends or anyone that I'm constantly surrounded by in Arkansas that has shot a gun once or more in their lives (I'd guess a vast majority of the population here). Had a .22 rifle I was fairly good with for skeet shooting and I at least know how to properly grip a handgun unlike some people. I know my father has a .357 Magnum loaded somewhere and I'm not sure if he's kept his Glocks (specifically his 19) or not.

It really isn't all the much to be afraid of. Most of the time when people get together to shoot it's more or less a social thing anyways. Course, I wouldn't point a gun at anyone after you've shot. Keep in the air. Please.

Yup, on multiple occasions. I've shot a variety of pistols and a .22 rifle, nothing automatic though.

I got to shoot various guns, mostly through boy scouting. Let's see...I've done rifle, 30.06, 12-gauge shotgun, blackpowder musket...and I think pistol. As for other types of "guns," I've fired paintball, BB, Airsoft, and army training simulation guns (which are real guns converted to simulation shooting guns. Gotta love the M60 with grenade launcher simulation gun!)

My shoulder still hurts from shooting. There's no bruise, but it feels bruised.
