Priority on physical fitness: includes strength and endurance.
Have fun shooting w/ your nephew.
They'll teach 'em the right way, no matter what.
Didn't know squat about the Marine Corps or shooting when I stepped on the yellow footprints at MCRD PI in '85.

The textbook quote in the OP:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms [i.e. for military purposes] shall not be infringed."
I had my 7th grader read this.
He interpreted it as people can keep arms only...
The general concensus here appears to be that the guy is a stick in the mud. I agree.
To play the devil's advocate, would it be OK to have a "Gay Day" or "Muslim Day" or whatever group discount day?
For me, I could care less. The more folks interested, the better.
Besides, it's a private...
Learn from my mistakes:
(1) hearing protection. I took my oldest out when he was about 7-8 to a steel silhouette shoot. I gave him my hearing muffs. He claimed that things were too loud. My mistake was that my years of shooting without hearing protection really wore my ears out. What I...
The whole family went and replaced old flags w/ fresh ones at grave markers. Saw some old old-timers.

The following is the original research article that is quoted: http://works.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1087&context=dennis_culhane
It is important to read the methods. Table 1 is a summary of all the...
Yep, sharpie in pocket and I'll bring some tape cause there's loose clays and shotgun shells all over. I tape it to the used targets.
I'm sure folks have seen my targets and have thought ill of my shooting abilities. ;-)
Oh, and those BDU's and silly clothes that I wear: left over from my...
Interesting thread.
I'm sure some of y'all have seen my type. I try scrimp/recycle what I can.
At my range, I find used targets in the dumpster. I see unused space on all of these targets.
So that's me: balding, middle aged dude shooting at targets in silly attire w/ bullet holes all over...
"Always be respectful"
Absolutely agree.
I've had a few occasions where my initial impressions were way off and am thankful that I didn't open my big mouth. Turns out I made some friends and didn't look like a doofus on the initial encounter.
