My mother got into shooting only because she realized early on that if she didn't she would never get to spend time with my dad (Cuz that was what he was into, whether she was there or not).

He was also into radio controlled planes and cars, photography (mostly black and white), guns (mostly muzzleloaders), stringed instruments - like the mandolin, guitar, banjo, and fiddle, airplanes (small aircraft like Cessna and Luscombe), vehicles (he had a thing for sporty cars and motorcycles).

Dang, I think he musta been ADD to do all that all the time.

LOL!!! I like him!!!

You know, I'm not sure why my mom started shooting. She didn't as I was growing up. As I've mentioned before that was not something on the list of things okay for females in my family. But, after I left home she got a handgun and got really good with it.

The way she is, if I asked her the reason, she'd just say, "Oh, I don't know."

Grama and I were amused and entertained by her interest though. We were very proud of her achievements! Even though she never discusses things with us. LOL
