Where did you learn to shoot?

[b.faust]

When I was about 10 years old in Wisconsin.
Grandfather was a former WWII Combat Engineer, and my uncle was a Ranger who'd been through sniper school.

We were (and still are) an avid hunting family, so I've been pretty much consistently shooting for the last 29 years (god I just realized I'm almost 40...).

Other than when I've lived in "No guns for you" countries.

My dad taught me up in the mountains. The USMC taught him how to shoot.

Bought an AK, then shot it.

self taught, but i hear my mom could put a hole in quarter that was thrown in the air as a youth, with her 22 rifle...maybe it's in the blood?

Learned from my father as a youth. Then I joined the Marine Corps and learned some more.

The San Gabriel Valley Gun Club. Their junior rifle program. Sadly they were closed down a few years ago by a buch of hopolphobic yuppies.

My Dad showed me how in the desert in 1980. From then on I was hooked.

I grew up in the Ozarks, which means when I was born I very likely came out holding a rifle.

I watched Terminator a million times... and my cousin took me to a range.

Dad took me out back on my Grandparents place when I was 8 with a .22 and a bunch of cans, we setup near the creek so we could fill the cans up with water so they would fly up in the air when you shot them....good times!
