My Grandfather taught me to shoot at about 6 with a BB gun, then moved on to single shot 22s.
My love of shooting has lasted a lifetime and given me a leg up in both my careers.
I taught all my kids to shoot, but few of the Grandkids were interested, thanks to the media, and video games.
WAY back in high school in Florida, they had ROTC and Rifle Teams, which competed all over the state.
There was a range in the basement. I wasn't ON the rifle team, but did shoot with them often during their practice sessions.
I WAS on the Silent Drill Team and performed with them in parades and demos at schools and football games. We earned a letter for our jackets just like the "real" jocks...We drilled with actual M14s with the firing pins removed. They were fully functional and once a year they took us to an Army Base and we got to shoot them. Great Times.
A little unplanned upgrade this morning. Site is working ok it seems.

Re: Not Enough Shooting
I shot twice in the pasture this Spring. I shot some .22 lrs the first time and I checked out my new to me 6" model 28 last weekend.

Re: Not Enough Shooting
I'm blessed to have a club range 5 minutes from my home. A 25 ,50 ,and 100 yard range. Have movable target stands so we can set up less than each ranges maximum distance.
