How I first got into shooting:

When I was 46, I had a significant other who insisted I shoot. I was terrified of guns, but was coerced into shooting and haven't stopped since. I love shooting, because it is a continual learning experience. I've never gone to the range or a match without learning something about myself and shooting.

My preferred shooting
style:

My primary goal is to go for accuracy, but in the heat of the moment, I sometimes forget.

What I would additionally like you to know about me:
