Consider watching this video with FreeTube, a nifty open-source program that lets you watch YouTube videos without Google spying on your viewing habits!

Combined with Libredirect, which automatically opens youtube links in Freetube, it becomes really slick and effortless to use.

I've been skeet missing lol

Which is an exaggeration, but not a huge one. Definitely fun anyway, but more because it's outdoors and active for me. Haven't done it in decades. Back in the nineties, I'd go with some of my family just for the joy of shooting with them, but was never into it on my own.

A decent scope on a lever action is a little slice of heaven though :). I'm not a hunter, nor was I ever a regular one; really only small game then. But lever action shooting is very engaging, once you get the hang of keeping a good sight picture while cycling the rounds.

Lol, that does sound like a great time. I've always found shooting is a bit like swimming for me, it's usually really boring by myself but a really nice activity when it with other folks.

Skeet shooting I think I could do for hours before I get bored though, it's just a lot more dynamic and engaging. Someday I'll have to see if I can go again some time :)

And yeah, that's a big part of the appeal for me. It just seems like a physically fun object to operate. And it'd be nice to be a little more connected to the process that feeds me and able to fully appreciate that a life was lost so that I could be fed, instead of just buying it neatly packaged up in styrofoam and plastic in a fluorescent lit store.

Plus venison curry sounds amazing
