I ask mostly out of curiosity. My father got me started shooting at the age of 13 after I had proven I could be safe with a bb gun for a year. We went out to my old family cabin in Lassen National Forrest and drove a few miles out to a good spot to shoot. He had my shoot his Ruger 10/22, his Norinco SKS , and his S&W model 66(still the best .357 mag made by S&W imo). I liked shooting the rifles but I was really looking forward to shooting the S&W mod 66(4" barrel on his with pachmayr decelerator grips). He loaded the first cylinder with .38 special for me then I asked to shoot .357 mag out of it, I was surprised by my accuracy shooting the .357 mag loads looking back on that day. I managed to hit a plastic bottle we placed on a tree stump right in the cap!
Ever since that day I've been a big fan of handguns and tend to enjoy shooting them the most. What about the rest of you: what do you prefer to shoot handguns or longguns(rifles/shotguns)?
Feel free to include your first time shooting story if ya feel it had a lasting impact on what you like to shoot most.
