Every time a go to the range, or our in the field to shoot, I'm like this is the most fun ever. I can't seem to figure out what I like most, rifle, shotgun or pistol.
There is just something about shooting out 300 to 500 yards with a 308 or other big game rifle. Especially when practicing realistic hunting situations. Dialing the scope. Adjusting for wind, then hitting where you intended. Most fun ever.
Well that is until I grab the shotgun and we start launching clays. Just when you think you have it figured out, you try a different angle and the fun/ frustration starts all over. I'm really looking forward to grouse season.
Then there is pistol. Set up some steel or idpa targets and go to town. Shooting while moving. Or on the ground. Two hands. One hand. Weak hand. It's endless. We started doing this again, training for surprise bear attacks. Best time ever.
Until we grabbed the 22 rifles. Talk about high volume practice at low cost. Talk about learning a lot in a short period of time. And the goher hunting rabbit hole I just went down. So much fun.
I'm sure I'm missing many other fun related shooting activities. But what we are doing, and doing often, is just stupid fun.
Do you guys do it all, or just focus on one aspect of the sport?
