In retirement, getting out on the plains with a rifle, tromping around shooting prairie dogs on some ranch cause the owner hates the mangy disease carrying rats, is a holiday in paradise for me. Hunting deer and pronghorn has become a real obsession so the prairie dog shooting is outstanding preparation to hunt medium size game. Hand loading ammo is an indoor activity that contributes to the enjoyment of shooting. Like many previous posters, this started for me around 8 years old....64 years ago. A Daisy Red Rider addicted me to shooting. Every time I accumulated enough money to buy BB's I would get in Dad's pickup when he took the milk to the creamery, dash into Ben Franklin's and get "ammo" for the Daisy. After the chores were done I was on the hunt. I ain't quitin till somebody takes the keys to the pickup.
