I was taught to shoot at about age 12 by my mom's boyfriend - a Denver cop. Then he taught me how to breakdown his .45. I thought it was fun - but perhaps he was just tricking me into doing his dirty work for him...!
I did not really shoot much again 'til my son had an interest in learning. I enlisted the help of a shooter friend from church, who taught him (us both) at Hendricks County Fish and Game. Then when my daughter was old enough, she took to the 12 ga. like a fish in water - from firing her first shot from a shotgun at Noon to being able to hit the broken pieces of her clay a second time before they hit the ground by 1:00.
My wife and I bought our first handguns (9mm) during the pandemic. And due to the availability of ammo, I started reloading immediately. (Ask me about primer reloading with toy caps - what a pain!)
Anyway - thanks for adding me to the club!
