It was like magnets pulled me to shoot. Shot with dad at an indoor range in the 90s once. Started shooting in GA after 1996. He would be 90 now and I still think he guides me a lot
So who started you shooting? Shout out...

My Dad, it was either 1963 or 64 and I was 4 or 5. But I do remember the very first shot, it was with a .22 short Colt Derringer shooting at an old tin can at a creek out in the country. I was hooked right then & there. I don't have the original gun but I did find one at a gun show my Dad and I went to for $99. He sold the one I shot way back then because my mother tried to shoot him with it sometime around 1966 I think.
I shot with my dad only once I remember as a kid. Had bb guns as a youth and the Boy Scouts for .22 fun at summer camp. As a early young adult just bought myself a pistol and then made a good friend who I went to the range and the seed was planted been shooting ever since. Started my son around 8-10 with me and the memories and fun we have are awesome!
My Dad was 100% responsible for my gun/shooting interest. Taught me how to shoot, gun safety and hunting. Couldn't thank him enough for passing those on to me.
Started on BB guns then a 22 then a 410.about 10 when I got the 410.Prolly shot a million BB's.
John Wayne,Clint Eastwood,Charles Bronson and a few more,but don't feel up to typing that much
Got a glock 26 right after my 21st birthday bc I drove to a sketchy part of Atlanta every day and here I am
My Dad gave me a High Std. 9 shot 22 pistol with 4" barrel when I was 12, I'm 68 now, then proceeded to instruct me before giving me the ammo and watched me shoot and made sure I was safe. That g8n is the one I have kept the longest, it still sits securely in my safe.
