    Bolt action 16 gauge shotgun that belonged to my grandfather. Great old gun and fun, hard to get shells for sometimes cause it isn't the traditional 20 or 12

    Stevens, single shot 410 for me, shortly followed by the Ole Man's Model 37 Featherlight 12 GA.

    Wish my nephew was here. Let the lil guy shoot my XD9 SC last summer for his first real gun. A few minutes later, he got to shoot a S&W 500 Magnum, 12" barrel. Wish I had video of that. HA!

    Marlin - Christmas Story Style

    .22 Marlin. In true Christmas story style. My parents gave me a box of ammo for christmas when i was 15. Then told me i had to wait till my 16th birthday for the rifle. I was excited and heartbroken all at the same time. Then Dad "found" an extra present behind the tree. Wasn't too long before we were all outside!

    I don't remember for sure which one was my first; however, my uncle who taught me how to shoot at three guns that we would practice with: S&W .357, S&W .45, and a DE .50 cal.

    They were fun range trips for sure.

    Was 9 or 10, it was my dad's Mini-14...

    Never shot a rifle before, and it had a scope on it... Can you see where this is going?

    Got me a nice shiner on the first shot, stepped it down to a 10/22 and been hooked ever since.

    Ruger 10/22. Probably about 6 or 7 years old. Had my oldest brother pick me up a Mossberg 500 12g when I was 14 or 15. Bought an 8mm Mauser when I was 18 but didn't shoot it until about a year ago (had it about 12 years before shooting it). If I would've shot it not long after I bought it, I'd have went back and bought every single one they had left. It cost me under $60 at the time.
