I never shot a shotgun when I was a kid because I was afraid of dislocating my shoulder, lol.

I don't blame you for thinking that. My shoulder keeps popping.

Yeah, the shotgun hurt. I didn't shoot it more than 2 times.

Actually, come to think of it, I'd still be afraid of dislocating my shoulder. I'm not a big dude.

Edit: Or breaking my collarbone.

I would love to try shooting something with a scope sometime. I know it's not the same as gaming, but I'm pretty decent when sniping in games. So I have to wonder if I'd be any good in real life.

I used to go out shooting cans/targets on trees with my brother and father when I was younger, usually bb guns but sometimes we'd get to use the .22 rifle or his old revolver (loud fucker!).

When I got older, I went to a friend's ranch and we shot gophers with his .22s to thin out their numbers (their holes would break the legs of their horses and cattle). Also rabbits when we could find them and badgers if they attacked us.

Also, another friend had a P90. Those things are very accurate and fire surprisingly fast with little recoil. It's like turning on cheats to real life!

I have a gun in just about every corner of my house if that says anything.

It's Home Security ok?

Damn...my nephews, hubby and his father are all going to the shooting range on Thursday. Damn f'ing work. Oh well. I wonder if he's going to bring his new shot gun? I wouldn't mind shooting one of those.

Certainly, I am a pretty good shot for a kid that has no depth perception and poor eyesight.

So my father-in-law, after shooting his shotgun this past Thursday, had a deep purple and red bruise on his shoulder.
