About the most fun you can have with a weapon

I spent many days in the late spring bowhunting carp in the reservoirs of eastern Colorado as a kid. Cut off jeans, high top keds, and my Wing Nighthawk recurve. That and shooting prairie dogs with my .22
 
My cheap Barra air rifle is fairly accurate....and pretty quiet. I'm 2 for 2 on the Squirrels that are terrorizing my dog....just sitting up above him in a tree and chirping at him.

Now I'm thinking I need a good one......any ideas?
 
A friend of my dad used to put the carcasses/guts in a 55 gallon barrel all summer. He then used the goop that it turned into for fertilizer the next spring. I swear you could smell his place down wind from a mile away.

just reading this and remembering old buckets of fish guts in the summer about made me puke

Not as cheap but a suppressed 22 with subsonics is quieter than most pellet guns and more accurate😁😁😁
 
Bowfishing carp is fun as hell. Went out on Barr Lake a few years back.

I'm no archer, but it was pretty much shooting fish in a barrel.

And the meat is really close to (mercury-free) tuna if you can it right.
 
USPSA is my favorite. Running around shooting as fast as you can, reloading on the move, I love it. IDPA is also fun but has less targets and more rules. Three gun is pretty awesome, I've only shot it a few times. Any of the falling steel shoots are fun. I shot TAC a few years ago, that was pretty cool too. We did a lot of 3D archery shoots when I was a kid. Now it's only once in a while.

I love shooting just about anything. It's one of the only times I've experienced that flow state where you aren't thinking about anything and it feels like you are on auto pilot.
Action pistol matches are a hoot.
You learn a lot about yourself during a stage.
Sporting clays and skeet rank right up there....More social and less stressful.

I'll tell you a couple things though, he had the most unbelievable garden and his roses were the most spectacular I have ever seen. All from decayed carp.

Ya, USPSA for me, too. Especially if I'm in practice.

Just finished up converting my gear from Production to Carry Optics. Need to spend time with it before the season is over.
 
Glassing and stalking elk is probably #1 for me.

Hunting skittish southern whitetails on the ground is fun and challenging. Dispensing of venomous snakes with a 9mm race gun or wild pigs with anything is quite fun. And bow-hunting anything!
