Tell us about your childhood .22 plinking memories.

None. I grew up in a blue state with liberal parents. I bought my first gun six months ago at the age of 43.

I wish hickock45 was my dad.

Nobody insults Gun Grampa around these parts. Go fuck yourself with a fireplace poker.

Gentlemen please, this is about happy memories,
This is a blue board.

Even though i had a ruger 10/22 i only shot my great grandfathers Remington 572.

I would go out with 2k rounds and plink all day. I was so good i could knock the button off of spray cans. I would also set spray cans up on their side and shoot through the bottom while trying to knock the top off at 30 yards.

I wouldnt wear eye protection or hearing protection and at the end of the day my ears would be ringing and my arm would be sore from pumping the rifle 2k times.

I dont even bother with my 10/22 to be honest, My grandpa gave it to me so im not going to give it away but i could careless.

Recently while shooting a screw came loose and the magazine tube was some how jerked out. The screw was lost and the for end was stripped from the magazine tubed. Now it hangs loose. I think im going to have the fore end fixed with dovetails.

First gun was an H&R versa pack. The .22 barrel had awful sights but the .410 shot like a dream.

wow so edgy
I guess no one cared about your 10mm review channel?

My first gun was a daisy red rider. From four years old I was out there shooting away with that BB gun, targets, cans and such. I had a little mouse silluette that would go ding when hit.
By ten I had moved onto the hand me down anzhutz single shot .22 it was pre WWII and still shot like a laser.
Now at fifty, I look back at the fun I had just shooting for the pleasure of it. No dramas, no team politics, no rules designed to promote a suppliers product, no one shooting back.

The only thing I like about shooting now is that some one else is paying for my ammo.

I found an old gamo expomatic 2000 with a Bushnell 3-9 On it in the reuse section at my local transfer station when I was 15.

I must have put 10,000 pellets through it. I was making spinners out of pennies and nickels and coat hanger wire. I was hitting probably 8/10 At 75 feet.

I sold it like an idiot for something newer, deep regret over that.

I was 10 and my dad and uncle took me and my brothers up the property band we shot a few rounds out of a hi standered 9 shot revolver
