I'm not even exaggerating but there was a bunch of young soldiers shooting shotguns 50y on the rifle side. I was two benches away. One of them was super recoil sensitive and the rest was all laughing and clowning with him. Whatever all fun and games. I go to pull my target and have a huge hole from a slug in my frame 2 benches away another in the cardboard. Yes it is possible to miss a 4X4 plate.

Yikes! Sadly I believe it.

A buddy’s uncle would “setup” his brother. His brother doesn’t own guns, but enjoys shooting here and there. Anyways, the gun owning uncle loads up a couple 3” slugs after a couple birdshot.

Round 1 - Bam, yeah!
Round 2 - Bam, yeah!
Round 3 - Boom! Oh f!&k! (As cousins laughing)

I’m there just shaking my head.

The wife missed that a few times. Hit about 12 feet in front and the road.  But after getting warmed up, no problem.

So I told her if I was held hostage, go shoot at something else before attempting that head shot.

Definitely recoil anticipation.

There's been many times I watch someone bring out their big bore revolver on the silhouette side
I see it's a 500 or 460 or 454, so I stand back and just watch bc I love big bore revolvers
And sometimes they get the recoil flinch and hit the grass or dirt 10-20 feet short. I don't really react bc I've been there myself, but it is kind of funny.  :D

I work the graveyard shift (12am - 8am) my only days off are during the week and most of my time is spent with my 6 month old.  I try to go at least once a month to stay "proficient".  I'm not a collector (due to low funds and small condo) so I only own one handgun.  Thinking of getting a shotgun or some kind of rifle in the future and I'll be done after that.

I hear ya. Adulting takes a bunch of time in our lives. Happy to hear that you have the desire to maintain proficiency. That’s a definite big step. Hopefully soon you can introduce your son to some 22 action and make it a regular thing.

I think a long gun is an excellent addition to handgun for defense. What are you looking at?

Most likely a shotgun as that probably is my cheapest option.  Just need to figure out where to store it.
