I enjoy shooting. Around where I live, it's something you do for entertainment once in a while, you go out and shoot targets.
I'm an NRA-certified Expert Rifleman.
For target shooting, that's okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that's why we have police departments.
I carried it (a revolver) religiously and during the summer I asked a friend, a man who had been one of Franklin's bodyguards in New York State, to give me some practice in target shooting so that if the need arose I would know how to use the gun.
I want to go where the guns are!
Once you get older, you can always develop the skill to shoot.
We would just go out and line up a bunch of cans and shoot with rifles, handguns and at times, submachine guns... When I was a kid it was a controlled atmosphere, we weren't shooting at humans... we were shooting at cans and bottles mostly. I will most certainly take my kids out for target practice.
One of the things I love about shooting the most is that there's no specific body type or body build that someone has to have.
Over my career I played some badass characters. So, people sometimes think I should have a .44 magnum. But that's not true, I don't have that. But I do fire them and I do enjoy target shooting and all that sort of thing. I'm not much of a hunter. I don't like killing animals, but I love to shoot.
I grew up on a ranch with my father, so he educated us really early on about guns. We used to go target shooting all the time.
In high school and college, I gathered a number of medals for marksmanship, but I have long since abandoned this activity, having concluded that the world would be a better place with fewer sharpshooters.
Every single race that I get on the podium in biathlon, I'm shocked.
I don't really like using guns too much, you know, even for sport.
People in the U.S. who feel they need guns or enjoy gun sports of various types, are, in other words, decent, law-abiding, generally honest members of society. Their wish to have guns should be respected.
For some strange reason I can put five bullets into that red thing in the middle of the target.
Archery is something that I took up later and didn't know I had a natural aptitude for.
Once I got to the OTC they knew more about the physical aspects of shooting, and knew which muscles were more important to have trained and geared us a program around that.
I've had a great time on the road, I would say shooting guns with a silencer in Jacksonville, Fla.
Phoebe tapped the toe of her sneaker against the dock. “There’s only one good use for a man like Heath Champion.” “Here we go again,” Molly muttered. Phoebe’s lip curled. “Target practice.
A longbow takes a massive draw for the arrow to go anywhere.
I used to trapshoot. I was actually a junior national champion. My parents are trapshooters, so I'm more into target stuff.
To me, the only reason for guns in civilian hands is for sporting purposes.
It's more fun when you shoot well and when you have a good score, but that's not a prerequisite to me for having a good time.
I have Glocks, .45s, Berettas, Remingtons. I like the marksmanship and the discipline that it takes to be a gun owner. I like the machinery. Being able to take it out and clean it is even more fascinating than having the gun.
I say this every time I get interviewed, I just try to get my shots on target. If they go in, they go in.
