RVAF -- Newbie

[Stig of the Dump]

My boyfriend hates painting, but loves pottery--something he never really knew about until I showed him.)

I had a girlfriend that introduced me to dance.  It sounds crazy, but sometimes we would dance for hours all over her flat, fabulously expressive extemporaneous contemporary dance, moments of incredible drama and poignancy.  It sounds ridiculous - it was amazing.

My father tried to teach me how to shoot, but at the time, I was much too small (in size, not age--at roughly 100lbs, its hard to handle a rifle), but I still want to learn. I know he hated hunting, for a variety of reasons, but primarily because its boring. If you're a Class B skeet shooter, then its hard to enjoy dove hunting when you hit your target all the time.

Some people have learned starting at 6.
I was not quite that young, but it was a progression from a BB gun, .22lr, various high power, then shotgun.
I still shoot .22 for fun, between strings of 7mm; it's called precision rifle.
At almost any rifle range/gun club there are many who would be delighted to show a young female the way, and they are mostly old guys, so no pressure.
