Challenge or no challenge

[Moose]

Why do you shoot? Are you trying to develop the easiest method of accuracy with repeatability or are you looking for the challenge of mastering more difficult methods and equipment? The thread posted with the title, "Is the Debate Over?" mentioned several times about the different challenges of some equipment. I learned some new things and am planning on tapping into these various opinions. What method and equipment would you start new young shooters on?

I personally shoot as a form of therapy but as far as what to start a youngster on it’ll probably be a Notos.

More affordable less intrusive ( noise) way of keeping up my marksmanship. Tinkering and learning something as you go is just part of it all anyway if your a diy guy .

I shoot because I hunt. I shoot paper to test ammo, compile DOPE, learn my limits with a particular gun/scope/ammo combo, and to make sure my shooting skills don’t go to crap. I prefer to look bad on paper until I improve as opposed to leaving a wounded animal to suffer and/or die in the woods as a result of a poor shot (which can still happen).

@pan60 Yes!! I also shoot to zero scopes as well. How could I forget that one?

I like to find equiptment that shoots well and fits well and makes it easy for me to do well. I love field target and shooting 100 yds into the accuracy aspect. To start my grand kids I ended up buying a path finder for the accuracy and the adjustable stock found that to be most important for kids especially of different ages. I have them shoot swinger targets from quality targets as their easy to setup and they come in different sizes so you can adjust for each kid.
