    Default Marksmanship

    Hello! Have you engaged in activities such as shooting rifles, bows, blowguns or other projectile weapons? How do you like it? Have you ever done/do you do it regularly?

    I've never done any of these regularly but at a party a year ago all the above three were activities to try out, and it was so much fun! I'd really like to make a hobby out of one of them at some point.

    Yes. Bows and bb guns.

    Never plan to touch a gun again. I don't even want to fire a spudgun in anger or fun. I pack a surprising decent punch for someone of my weight/height. I'll live off that if it's absolutely necessary.

    The only recreational game I can think of that involves a fist is those circus things where you punch a ball attached to a machine....yea I'll be that guy.

    I have fired a rifle on several occasions because I am redneck-American.

    Tried bow and arrow, but I wasn't very good at it.

    Took up archery a few months back and just bought my own bow yesterday. I get to the range at least once a week. Pretty damn fun if you ask me.

    Bows count as archery, not marksmanship!

    In either case, I have done archery for a tiny bit when I was like 10, and my younger brother had a spring-piston air rifle that I would occasionally use.

    I have a few guns and know how to shoot pretty well, but looks like I may need glasses. For this reason, my pride and joy is named Mauly and is a 10 gauge Remington.

    Archery, rifles, handguns here. All really fun. When I get more time and money, I'll think about turning them into a longer-term hobby.

    Never tried shotguns, though.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I want to start shooting really bad. I'd also love to learn how to use a bow and arrow.

    I'd like to do some archery. Nothing serious, just for fun. Of course, doing any sort of sport these days is expensive.
