[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4271985, member: 27991"] Great idea Shooting something new, different is what EnS is all about. I don't have fancy, rare, exotic but my .30 Carbine Ruger Blackhawk was quite popular at a small gathering. I, too, have taken new shooters and taught them to shoot. Unfortunately, the excitement can lead to an entitlement attitude. The worst wasn't a teenager, but a 22 yo, from Australia. Had never SEEN a gun, for real. He wanted to shoot everything. Did not bring the AR out until the end. He makes 3, slow, aimed shots; then 30 round mag dump. Reaches for another mag and I mention he has shot over $150 in ammo. On the way home, he was happy, excited, thankful, appreciative and apologetic, not realizing how much ammo he had been through. Let him know, that I brought it to shoot and was happy he had a good time. My problem with the Aarond plan. Some of those others I shoot, I end up wanting and buying. Real world problems [/QUOTE]
