Off the back of a cruise ship, I tried to skeet shoot. The guy with the shotgun joked about me being from New York and never firing a gun. Anyway, I missed 10 out of ten.
Funny footnote: The person behind me was a 9 year-old from the sticks. The staffer asked the kid's father if he was able to handle the gun, and his father assured him that he could. Then he nodded in my direction, "Better than that guy." The kid shot the first 4 before I could disappear.
Yes in Texas on a business trip. 45 and 9 mil at a shooting range...
ReplyDeleteYup, rite of passage I suppose.

I have, but only to practice.
ReplyDeleteYes, in order to get my possession and acquisition licence. It was fun.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have. I used to live in the country. I had quite a few opportunities. I don't intend to again though!
