Misc The lies that we tell ourselves
Well, I grew up on the prairies. Guns were a tool, but I was always fascinated by my dad's Marlin .32 Winchester Special, Savage 99c .243, antique shotgun, and .22s (Cooey, Savage, etc).
I freed up a lot of time for shooting a few years ago, and got my PAL. Told my spouse that I " just want a .22 and a 12 gauge".
Fast forward to today and I'm 5 calibres and 5 digits deep, with 5 actions in this hobby. And I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. 😁
So here's the question: how many of you had a similar experience? And how many are happily shooting 2 calibres and loving this sport/hobby?
Get out and shoot safe this weekend.

I told myself i only wanted my PAL so i could own a Lee Enfields No1 and No4 because i love history and the history of those guns. Well, I didn't stop at Lee Enfields.
