Is shooting infectious?
I fired my first handgun during the past summer, a 44 mag Redhawk, and loved it. I fired an SKS and loved it too. A few months ago, I picked up my .40 Sigma. Meanwhile, my friend Luke, who also fired the same guns during the summer, started looking to shoot more. His wife got him an SKS for an early birthday gift, and gave it to him the same day I got mine. Since then, I've picked up a Remington 597 and almost have my M&P 40 paid off. My room-mate has been eyeing a Taurus 357mag for a while, but can't pick up the funding. He's only been really thinking about getting one since I got my 40.
Then there's our friend Keith. He had no real interest in guns until we took him out and had him fire my 40, SKS, and the 22's. He immediately went out and picked up a Ruger Mk III .22. Our other friend Josh, who was also out there shooting with us (but he'd had some experience with his dad's guns), picked up an M&P 9mm right after.
Aside from two of the three women-folk not having a huge interest, we suddenly find ourselves to be a small army (Okay, maybe a small squad) that looks like it's invading the Phillipines when we load up to go out to Luke's property to shoot.
Anyone else have this kind of situation where the shooting bug starts to take over friends, conversations, etc?
