Slightly controversial, have you ever shot a gun before?


Recommended Posts

Slightly controversial these days I suppose, but I am curious. Have you ever shot a gun before?

Posted

If you are talking about shotguns, then yes I have. I was brought up in a shooting family, my dad was heavily into wildfowling on the Lincolnshire Wash as was my brother, so I used to go with him quite a lot during my teenage years. I used to also do a fair bit of pigeon shooting during the summer, with some clay shooting. I grew up living off the fat of the land more than butchers meat (one side of my family we’re also butchers in Southwell) and probably explained why I was so fit as a kid!

In the end I gave it up as I was too heavily involved with football, cricket and fishing, so just didn’t have the time to dedicate to it.

No i have not, only air rifles. I would rather stay away from them to be honest. Knowing my luck I would shoot next door neighbours windows out :D haha

Yeah, I had shooting practice with a thing called pathway to assent when I was sixteen. I had training on how to use a hand gun, it was all legit and done by professionals. You would be surprised by feeling of pulling the trigger, it had some kick and although I hit the target. I just didn't like it at all.

No I haven’t either, nor would I want to unless it was a lifeless target, I abhor the thought of shooting wildlife for sport.

I was brought up using air rifles & pistols but have had limited experience with the real thing! I have tried shotguns ( on an estate I stopped at in Norfolk ) & had a quick go with a handgun in what(at least at the time) seemed a very shady "gunclub" somewhere near the old ice stadium.
