Your shooting career/Are you experienced?

[ElToro]

i will be 35 this summer.
always had bb guns in our pretty large suburban backyard.

started shooting 22 and 12 ga in boy scouts at about 12, regular scout camp and my troop had access to a bunch of surplus rem trainers and teh county SO range. we had a regular overnite that was based on shooting.

that held me till 18 and started going to the local rental range and bought a shotgun and a mini 14. dad bought me a Sig 220 with my money when i was 20, all down hill form there. in out out of a few guns and long guns, currently have about 25 handguns and 15 long guns. dont really intend to sell any more unless its to raise money for something very important. i intend to start my almost 1 year old boy off very soon

I dont remember if it was my 1st toy gun or not, but the first one I can remember was like yesterday. End of the war. I seen this solider get out of a car with a dufflebag and walk in moms store. Ma and a aunt go nuts kissing & crying. I dont understand it. I am five. Someone says he`s my uncle. Well I had plenty of uncles showing up. Had I belive eight of them in the war. I was just getting to know my dad too. Anyway later that evening he emptied his war bag on the floor with all kinds of souviners, I belive 4 or 5 handguns amoung them.
Later dad said pick one. I picked a polish radom. Dad traced it on a board, sawed it out and did some extra stuff to it and gave it to me! Sure wish I had that one today!
