Re: Some people...

for fun, hm
aren't there many other things one can shoot for fun - like what do you call those little clay plates they toss up with some kind of catapult thingy? Those move.
I guess birds are cheaper
but then one could rig one's own catapult thingy and shoot up pretty much anything with enough weight to fly

when I was a kid you could get money for shooting crows (our mayor was a farmer), so you could have "fun" with a purpose
other than that I'm really fond of eating certain birds (never tried crow)

I grew up in a hunting household, with the idea that one never points a gun or rifle, loaded or not, at any living being in fun
we were taught to take care of them and take them very seriously
I understand that he my father was extreme in his attitude
he did teach me a lot
I hope I can do as good a job with my daughter
