> Personally, I have shot everything from BB's to 8 inch diameter artillery shells. I don't care for shooting at living things, but targets are fun.

I agree. I can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn most times, but I did manage to hit a small target metal target with a black powder rifle once. It made a quite satisfying whinge. Black powder is a lot of fun, except for the expense.

I'd really like to become proficient at shooting clay pigeons one of these days. That looks like a lot of fun. Considering my vast amounts of free time and my forementioned accurate aim, though, it isn't likely to happen any time soon.

That's why I wear ear protection.

> There is a rather large group of people who shoot better than me, so I'll leave it up to them. The last time I shot anything, it was a slingshot.

My brother used to be very interested in slingshots and bows and arrows. He was quite good a couple of years ago.
