My father, I pulled my first trigger at around age 4 or 5. Dad held the High Standard 22 caliber revolver in his hands, I stood between his arms and got to pull the trigger. What followed over the years was being taught sight picture, breath control and squeezing the trigger. How to clean what I shot, the guns that is, how to mount a scope on a rifle, fit a recoil pad on a shotgun, reload rifle, pistol and shotgun ammunition.
But most importantly, Dad taught me not just how to shoot. But how to shoot responsibly.
