Shooting is fun! It's actually how I learned to take photos with less blur - with shooting guns and cameras, you shouldn't pull the trigger rapidly, with a jerk. Instead, sloowwwwly squeeze the trigger and try not to react when it takes effect. If you react, you will jerk the gun/camera and are more liable to miss.

Guns are fun to shoot at the range for sport. Archery always seemed cool for the same reasons.

I'm more into Archery than firearms. I think I just like slow control'd weapons since me firearm preference is semi-auto rifles and snipers. Never fired one but they catch my interest.

Spent a good portion of last Sunday shooting. We had eight people, three 12ga pump shotguns (two Pardner Pumps and an 870 Super Mag), 12ga semi-auto shotgun (Model 720), .300 Savage (Model 99), .30-30. (Marlin Model 336) Glock 30, and M1917 S&W Revolver

 

250 rounds of 12ga spent, 75 rounds of .45ACP, 20 rounds of .30-30, 20 rounds of .300 Savage and smiles all around. Not a bad day, not a bad day at all.

My partner at work adjusted his trigger to .3 pounds on a 9mm pistol.

That has some accident potential. Standard pull on a carry gun is between 4.5lbs and 7lbs, .3lbs is in the "hair trigger" paradigm. 

 

Light pull weight can be dangerous, which was why NYPD had the NY1/NY2 trigger designed for it's officers duty weapons. Heavy pull was "theoretically" suppose to reduce the amount of NDs force-wide.

 

The military uses the 92F, which as a 12lb pull weight for standard issue pistols.
