[Serious] What is your opinion on shooting sports?

I’m a hunter and love to target shoot. My rifle is my chosen tool for it. I reject the toxic, rather trigger happy culture that seems to form in some groups. Frankly, if I can’t hit a deer with one, maybe two shots, I’m a lousy shot and need to train more. What some people don’t realize is that hunting helps conservation, as much of the money used goes to conservation. At the same time, mysende of self and my masculinity is not tied to the capacity or size of my rifle. I chose them for their accuracy, reliability, and ability to humanely take down an animal. Target shooting can be exceedingly relaxing, and as long as safety measures are in place and enforced, problems should be minimal.
