Sould I start the sport of target shooting?

Answer 1

Yes indeed, it really helps develop your shooting skills and is fun too. There are several types of shooting that are really good entry level. The 10 meter air rifle and air pistol, 50 foot four position for 22s and Vintage Rifle which is shot with Surplus Military Bolt Action rifles at 100 or 200 yards. There are several more depending on the what your local range/Club sponsors. I'd check with your local Clubs and the NRA and see what is being shot in your area. Here is a Link to the Civilian Marksmanship Program which is very helpful.http://www.odcmp.com/

Answer 2

Yes, it's great fun for the whole family!

I recommend you check out a variety of different shooting sports and see what you like and see what the clubs in your area specialize in.

My club has skeet, clays, trap, etc., and my favorites are silhouette and 200 yd 'Garand' style matches.

Answer 3

Yes, for all the reasons given above plus many more.

To quote a letter by Thomas Jefferson to one of his nephews:
"As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives [only] moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion to your walks."
