I have been almost incredibly lucky, but growing up in a shooting/hunting environment wasn't part of it.
Age 23 was when i first was exposed to the shooting fraternity as a result of an evangelistic customer.
I am forever grateful, and have tried to pay it forward but with limited success.
Must have introduced a few dozen people to the sport, and had maybe 6 takers who ended up hooked like i was and bought their own equipment.
Fortunately, my brother is a recent convert. AND he lives close to a place with bunker trap!
A trip is planned for September.
