[QUOTE="okie man, post: 1743736, member: 75071"] I grew up with a recurve bow in my hand. At 13 I shot a ground squirrel at about 40 yards with it. I launched a hundred arrows at them before I got one. Lots of close misses kept me saying I could do this. After that I was introduced to handguns. More so Thompson/center contenders. Just the thought of 100-300 yard shots with a handgun had me hooked. Soon I had a super 14 in 223 rem and I learned how to shot, reload and tinker with things. I learned about scopes. Some good, some bad. I had a 14” 45/70 barrel for a while. At the time not many pistol scopes were up to the recoil of that setup! But it was fun to shoot a couple times and then hand it to a new shooter. That was the extent of my firearms shooting for a long time.I’d bow hunt most of the time , usually filling my tags before rifle season started. If I did fill a rifle tag I’d use a pistol. I really got interested in rifles about the time my son was old enough to shoot and he was really good at it. I got a nice cz527 223 and we both shot it and I added a few more guns to the collection. It’s only been in the last 5 years I’ve put a lot of effort into long range shooting and the equipment for it. It’s bern fun, but I spent more time working for accuracy than shooting. [/QUOTE]
