I could probably figure it out by the few videos I've watched.

Won't say I am a great shot, but short/medium distance I am fairly proficient.

Don't need to fire a gun to be a man.

For the most part yes. Although my speed would depend on my familiarity with the model.

I dont regularly shoot much else than my bolt action 30-06 or my .22lr

Didn't say anything about being a man, it's okay if you are not into rifles

I didn't really have a choice because my dad raised me like this

It's a very good skill to have if you don't have it already

It enables you to survive in the wilderness and live off the land without subsistence farming

Same with trapping and fishing, meat is dense in calories and high reward for less effort

This way you aren't forced to rely on money and grocery stores all the time, especially in hard times or in a crisis

I believe survival skills in general are important, and if you ever have the interest would recommend visiting a range

If not, that's up to you, just some food for thought

I know you were raised in the ghetto, so was my dad before he got out, hunting was not really an option when I lived in the ghetto

Fishing was not much of an option either, the rivers were polluted with industrial waste, but it's a short drive to the wild if you have a car

Sorry for ranting, shooting a gun won't make you more of a man, but I am passionate about the importance and usefulness of rifles

Disagree. As men we're meant to protect and provide shelter. I don't look down on any guy who opposes fire arms or doesn't know how to use em. I don't know how to use em myself, even though I own 1 handgun

It does help to kill and eat things tho.



Sadly, I cannot run down deer and kill them with my bare hands.
