I've been working on it alot, In fact i just bought 1000 rounds of .22 lr ammo to practice with. I went through 500 over the summer practicing my trigger pull, breath, and sight alignment. I also got to the point that if i wear double ear protection i can keep my eyes open. also, i'll have my sister or dad or whoever come in and either load a real bullet or they wont. i have to act the same either way, and they dont tell me. every once in a while at the beginning with the fake bullet i'd flinch but i've gotten better. Now it's only with shotguns, i started out with a 12 gauge by my choice. now i'm down to a 20. I've never shot a rifle larger than a .22 but i'll have to try it.

I'm jealous Thomas! I wish I were you on that dairy farm wackin those rodents, hunting and shooting up those targets! Yup you've got a great collection and I cannot imagine what you will collect by the time you are fourty. What ever it is I hope I get to see it with your children at your side! Thomas, we all know you are a good guy. You will be measured by sucess and I'd like to hold the measuring tape!
