"I didn't know people who actually own shotguns and shoot them try hip shooting."

My cousin and I tried hip shooting when we were kids 50 years ago and would camp out on his grandparents' farm or on my grandparents'. Of course we couldn't afford a lot of ammo to practice, but we bought all we could manage and shot every round. You know how some kids would steal cigarettes from their parents? We pilfered ammo.

What we did was use firecrackers and cherry bombs to launch tin cans off of a flat rock and shoot at them with .22 rifles and shotguns. We were lousy hip shots.

Both farms backed up on mountains, so we had safe backstops.
