do you shoot alone?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Mostly alone but sometimes with my wife. I bought 11 acres in the country to set up my own range just so I can shoot by my own rules and at my own targets without somebody elses rules.( I still live in the city.) Used to belong to alot of shooting clubs and was very involved as an officer, RO, running competitions, and many other functions. Never had time to shoot myself because I had to do things so others could shoot. So I decided when I stopped shooting PBs and went with airguns to just do my own thing and I am enjoying the heck out of it. Sorry for the long answer.

My wife smokes, and I shoot.
She is my biggest fan, and cheers me on.

When I have a guest shooter I keep them shooting I don't shoot much I just try to show them a good time with airguns.

If I have two shooters then I stir their competitiveness. Lol

If its youngsters I teach.

If I'm alone, well, then I'm alone. 👍

I shoot mainly alone. I only have just under 10 yards available across my patio, so I sit and stack pellets and work on trigger control from an open class seated FT position.

When I need distance, same thing, usually alone. But then I have specific needs to address.

Otherwise, I shoot with the guys every Tuesday morning at our TRAC matches. We could have as few as 6 or as many as a dozen or more. not sure if it is the cameraderie or the shooting that draws us together each week, but we do get to shoot a full 48-shot FT match, swap jokes, swap lies, heckle each other, you know, the usual stuff.

We call it our adult (questionable) mental health group therapy sessions.

Much better than sitting at home and looking at the endless honey-do list.....

Let me guess, the cows crowd you when not behind a locked gate, not aggressive, just hey, what are you doing while surrounding you? Decades ago I had permission to shoot at a cattle farm. The one field I liked to use had a perfect and safe place to practice with my IHMSA targets at full regulation ranges and had a few sets of older pigs,chickens, turkeys, and rams from a friend that put them up in a barn at his place when they were all but done for. Unfortunately, that field was most of the times available to the cows as it was the biggest fenced field on the farm. I couldn't shoot for longer than 20 minutes if they weren't locked up in another field before they would come over and surround me. Never got aggressive, but you can't shoot when surrounded by dozens of cattle. I never could believe they came straight to me shooting a 44 magnum revolver.

I shoot alone 99.99% of the time.

maybe, since they can't talk, they are trying to tell you "Your invading our space "?
