    What is the primary reason you go shooting?

    I know it may be a combo of the above but what is the main reason you go out shooting usually?

      When I first went shooting it was for fun.
      I've even considered snagging a used airgun for just some REALLY cheap fun.
      Now, just so that I may get better. But so rarely that I don't get better.
      I need to think of a clever thing here.

        Fun, but I also find it very relaxing. The need for focus is almost therapeutic. Live in the People's Republic of Santa Cruz, so generally shoot alone. Gives me some nice alone time and i have never had trouble getting a lane, lol.

          Skills. Unfortunately I didn't realize how expensive this could get, so those skills are going to take longer to develop...

                  While I voted for Target / skills practice, I still have a lot of fun...

                    I have been shooting literally since before I can remember. I love to shoot for accuracy so I do a lot of target/skills shooting.

                            That would fall into the "Other" category. I am curious as to what most of the shooters at the range are there to achieve.
                            Though I always have fun shooting, I do a lot of ammo testing myself.

                              Shooting and shooting well is a martial art, just like any other. Exercise, fun, mental focus and concentration, personal excellence, and celebration of our basic liberties.

                              Oh, and camaraderie. Never shoot alone if you can help it. Introduce someone new whenever possible.
