Help
Not sure this counts as a sport and this may certainly be the wrong crowd but is anyone into firearms? This could include hunting and competitive shooting or even collecting. I'm mostly into range practice.

That was one of four stages today. My club puts one on each month.

I'm shooting my Glock 17 in the video. I have owned Glocks for 20 years. I really like their reliability. How about you?

I have a glock 22 but I run a 17 barrel in it to save on ammo costs. I've shot other striker fire but I prefer the glock's grip angle and size. I don't care for double/single actions much.

Recreational ___ usage? Now that's what I call shooting up.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I've only been to a range three or four times in my life, but I do like it. I do go to an archery range about three times a week.
I would like to get into shooting firearms, but I just don't have the time for it, right now.

As in archery with a modern recurve bow, or perhaps crossbow? I'm partial to archery myself. I used to be a fair shot with my composite bow. It's been years since I last strung it though. Ah, the good old days of missing arrows and yelling at my dogs to take cover. . .

I use a modern recurve bow, like the ones used at the Olympics, although I would like to own a traditional bow someday, for the "fun factor". I'm quite serious about my shooting, although my results are not indicative of that in the last couple of weeks.

Fun factor, indeed. They also pack quite a punch, considering how passé they are -- in some people's eyes, anyway. Went to an archery event about two years ago, it was incredible. At day's end, we all lined up for a final volley. More than a hundred arrows in flight, it's intimidating as hell.
Not sure about modern archery; I've never actually handled a recurving one before.

Nothing competitive, just get together with friends to shoot guns every once in a while. Went to shoot some clay pigeons a few weeks ago. 
My neighbor is some kind of nationally ranked archer though.

Probably, although, in that case, most of the rounds I've fired will be at ducks in Duck Hunt. Oh, I used to love that game when I was a kid.
