            My personal stuff is a .40 pistol, a .308 AR and a 12 gauge semi auto. I feel like anything more is a waste. If you’ve got the coverage for short-mid-long range, you’re good. Anything more is over encumbered.

              I think that we should be friends. my personal is a 150 lb crossbow and a 68 caliber ball bearing. Why did you get into shooting?

                Stress relief and defense, plus my military background made me comfortable with them, and I’m quite good at it. Its nice to have a hobby that I’m good at. I play video games too, used to be good at them back in the day but I suck at these modern games so I stick to single player games on medium to light difficulty, but I can still shoot really well. I’d love to get a crossbow, I’ve been wanting one for a while. Got the kid a compound bow that he used to shoot a lot but kind of lost interest in. I think I’ll pick up a crossbow at some point but I’m still working on getting good with throwing knives. Maybe I’ll pick one up if I can ever get acceptably good at the knives. How bout you? Why did you get into it?

                  Dude, we really do need to be friends. I’m incredibly good at throwing things. That’s my specialty. My BF got me some throwing cards recently. I need to sharpen them up but they are a lot of fun. I’m going to DM you. Hope that’s okay

                  Edit: I didn’t answer your question. I’ve just always been good at marksmanship my first shot with a 6.5 creedmoor was a bullseye at 100 yards. Same at 200. I probably should have gone into scout recon but I’m a pacifist so I’m not supposed to be pointing guns at people
