Why would I feel like a "brave, great white hunter" shooting targets and
sodapop bottles?
Oh, competitive target/range shooting is a sport. Killing a dumb animal
is not.
So why do you need to bring up "brave" in the first place? How brave
are you walking around in the woods packing heat in case you might run
into a petulant pomeranian?
We have hiked all over the west where you see rattlesnakes, wolves and
bears. I never felt the need to pack and I was never really scared.
There are black bears and cougars (AKA Florida Panthers) within
walking distance of my house. I am not scared at all when I mow the
lawn
You're not Harry Krause, else you would be scared. Simple.
