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 started

Fun

Now target and practice


When I got my loading equipment hand loading


So I've been all at some point

And right now I'm trying to finish my hand loads to handloading again

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.

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...

[FX-05 Xiuhcoatl]

I dig chicks with double barrel shotguns that's my motivation

[Loubot10]

Because it makes me a mellow cat.

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.

Do you shoot at Scott's Valley?

[incredablehefey]

where is the "getting guns ready for deer season" option, thats the only shooting i can afford at the moment

[Southpaw45]

OTHER. To exercise my second amendment rights!

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.
