1. Shooting
self-discipline
2. Shooting things is Serious because they can kill DUH
- Being the person that I am, I like to know how to at least walk up to something and know how to use it...just in case.
-
If I'm going to shoot, might as well be good at it. The definition of Self-Discipline is: the ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses; the ability to pursue what one thinks is right despite temptations to abandon it.
-
Knowing that I have Self control and discipline, I can and will have a gun and bow. Do I think everyone should be shooting something? Hell Naw, but being our right

Learning how to be responsible around others is key to owning guns...which is why I display my guns with absolutely NO magazine loaded inside. Knowledge of gun safety is huge and knowing how to operate and check if a gun is loaded or how to turn on and off the safety is an absolute must.
3. Learning if you are Right Eye Dominant or Left Eye Dominant
- This is the first thing you need to figure out.
-
How to figure this out: Aim at a target with your finger with both eyes open. When closing one eye, the eye that moves your finger in site is your NOT dominant eye.
-
I didn't find this out until I was 25 that I was left eye dominant. I just thought I sucked.
- My best shot is with my Compound bow and also WAY cheaper to shoot than a rifle. Re-usable Arrows is amazing when target practicing and of course way quitter.
