My late 20s at a shooting range...where we quickly learned if I have to shoot someone, everything that's not the target will get hurt the most.0

Still haven't0

11. Was left unsupervised for a moment during and managed to smack my forehead with the scope on the recoil. Giant goose egg, lol. I don't remember what kind it was, though. Not very high power.0

I had my first shotgun in 1st grade (20ga), so whatever that age is.0

My dad used to always take me hunting and I was around 8 when he let me shoot his shotgun. I remember the bruise it left on my shoulder, but I also remember how proud my dad was because my cousin was scared to shoot and he was a boy.0

Good for your Dad! I had both of my girls shooting around that time.

Never. I think it'd be cool to go to a shooting range sometime but I don't want to ever own or shoot a gun in real life.0

I grew up around guns because of my dad and now I love shooting mostly handguns. I'm glad my dad took the time to teach me. I like knowing I can defend myself if necessary.0 -
I don't know how young I was, but my granddad took me plinking with his .22. around 8-10 i want to say.
For those that haven't and say they never will, why?0 -

I made sure that both of my girls were comfortable around guns. I've always stored them safely but it's a comfort to know that they both grew up knowing that they weren't toys, but tools. I just bought my wife a new handgun and she's bugging me to go to the shooting range.0 -
At age 21, a friend of mine thought it'd be a good idea to take me to a range to try out his S&W Model 500 revolver. A .500 S&W in the hands of a new shooter. What a dick.0
