I learned to catch a variety of species in various waters
I learned to catch a variety of species in various waters. But after almost 10 years and a family, it was time for an employment change, which led me to the shooting sports and my introduction to shooting. I continue to pick up airguns, but I have yet to find an airgun that tops the Smith Wesson 586 revolver. Nice pistol. I gave my friends a challenge when it came to hitting the smallest target.
I bought a pair. I thought it was cool because the slide cycles, imitating the real gun.Hunting for land roaming creatures wasnt part of my childhood, although seeking swimming critters was. . All I remember was the unexpected blast terrifying me at that young age. I learned quicklythat unlike fishing, shooting provides instant gratification. The first was a Walther P22.
My first real exposure to a gun was when I was 8 or 9, my dad and I ventured into the woods with Extruder Screw my grandpa and a relative to shoot rabbits. Then I shot an RWS break barrel rifle. I knew my grandpa had a shotgun, but I had never touched it or saw it in action. I loved to fish.Theyre a big hit on date nights with my wife, who hadn't shot a gun until she was 28. I dont recall ever shooting a gun until I was 30. So my exposure to guns was quite limited.
I fished with my dad and grandmother, camped, rode a bicycle, and mowed lawns. Since then Ive shot some larger caliber pistols, a couple of shotguns, done a little shooting with dad, joined the NRA and my local gun club and obtained a conceal carry license. It's never too late to develop a passion for shooting. After becoming comfortable with daily handling, I had the opportunity to fire a couple of firearms. After that, shooting and hunting wasnt something I was exposed to as a youth, but I continued to enjoy fishing.
My next one was a CP99 Compact BB pistolmuch the same as the PPK and another Walther replica. Its amazing the amount of power an RWS Air Rifle has from just cocking the spring piston one time. So, going to work for a fishing lure manufacturer after college was a natural progression. I was decent at catching them, but not the greatest at locating them, but hey, thats why its good to know and work with great local guides and famous fishermen. I really enjoyed the friendly target competitions and I wasnt half bad considering it was my first time with a firearm. My first shot was with a replica BB gun, a Walther PPK/S that uses a CO2 capsule to shoot steel BBs. I grew up in a small town, just 40 miles from a big city of 400,000 people.
