The first gun you ever shot

[Crazyeye24]

The first gun I shot was my Dad's Remington 700 ADL 30-06 when I was 5. Knocked me on my butt. He still has it and I hope I will never have to own. I'd rather have my dad alive!

In 1973 I took the money I earned bucking hay and my Pop took me to a police auction, where I bought a Remington single shot .22 for $22. Owned it for yrs. but like a dodo I sold it. Sure regret it every time I see an older single shot .22. Do plan on picking one up someday!

i have been shooting for a long time but, a few years back my soon to be son in law and a bud went up shooting. shot the .22, shot the .25, shot 9mm, shot the .44 super blackhawk, shot the 8mm mauser, [you can see where this is going cant you], .300wm was next. future son in law says can i shoot that one? o.k. i try to get him set up, tell him to get a hold of the gun, are you holding on tight? this thing is going to recoil hard, yea i have it, ok let her go [guess what happened] yup nasty scope bite. took it like a trooper though. holding bandanna over bleeding scalp wound shooting the, .22, .25, 9mm,was several years before he fired a long gun again. didnt know at the time he had never fired a gun, period. woulda broke him in on the /06.

[sing]

winchester model 06 of my grandfathers. he showed me how to shoot it and i have been hooked on the firearms bug ever since. the gun is now my dads and i hope some day its mine and then ill pass it on to one of my 3 sons. i bought another one of the same models a few years back just in case dad gives it to one of my brothers. Man i love that old gun!

 

[BANE]

A Winchester model 67 22 bolt rifle. When my dad past i got to keep a few guns of his and the memories that go with them....
They are in the very back of my safe know..

 

[sheepdip]

there is nothing like old guns and the memories that go with them. i hope the next couple of generations get it!

My first time I was so young I have no clue what model/make of the .22 rifle I shot. All I know it had bird shot in it and my in-law relative had me out shooting the blackbirds that were close to his garden. When my mother got outside she was so mad at him for having a 3 year old out shooting she nearly shot him!

 

[glockman99]

The first gun I remember shooting was my step-dad's Winchester 30-30 lever action...I must have been about 9-10 years old.

 

[CZ Fan]

The first gun I fired was an UZI, I think I was around 6-7 years old. I dont really recall the circumstances of how I got the chance to fire it, but I believe the UZI belonged to a Vietnam war buddy of my moms boyfriend.

I am very proud to say that I own the very first gun I ever shot. It is a J.C. Higgins Model 20, 12ga shotgun. J.C. Higgins is the name given the gun by Sears Roebuck. It wa manufactured by Hi-Standard Arms. It is the first gun I ever fired. It is the gun I shot my first duck with.

When my father passed away in 2010, I inherited this gun. It has almost no value on the open market, and yet I will never sell it due to its sentimental value.

8mm mauser when i was about 7 years old,all i remember was a huge bang,lots of muzzle flash and dad making sure i didnt fall over,that was 40 years ago,dad passed this last summer,that gun is in my closet now

 

[Abiqua]

Remington 510 Targetmaster single shot 22LR. Dad was in the Navy and his Chief owned it, stock was cut down to fit his kids when they were young. I had shot it several times when we went out and then he gave it to me for Christmas when I was 8. I gave it to my sister when I was in my 20's and it got lost over the years. I wish I still had it.

It was a .22 LR bolt action rifle at Boy Scout Camp Meriwether to get my rifle merit badge. I got up to sharp shooter. I spent more time at the range than any other badge that summer.

 

[SonicBlue03]

Marlin .22 semi-auto. I think my dad probably still has that rifle.

 

[mkwerx]

Aside from my old man's Daisy pump air rifle - the first gun shot was my brother's Ruger P89. I think he still has it. Haven't talked to him in a while. I've owned 3 of them myself, but currently do not own one.
