learned to shoot at 7, got a break action airgun at 8, 9mm flobert at 10, and all the while shot with the .22 semi auto of my dad or .410 with birdshot..
Oh, and when dad came home from the hunt, he'de throw his guns on the table and i'de cleaning them.. Mummum was less enthusiastic about all that.. We ha a house with a huge tree, and huge flocks of starlings would infest that tree in summertime.. I'de just go out with dad's double barreled 12 gauge.. blam blam.. problem solved.
