To play Golf.... :lol:

No!, multitude of reasons for me!, Help out on the farm, Target shooting, plinking, a test of skill.... and the mechanics, workings and servicing, setting up of your rifle...

all the aspects of shooting, trigger control, breathing, hold... along with Judging wind, and distance ect... and setting up the scope.

I think that's everything.... it's my passion and hobby... :D

It also gets people outside in the fresh air, the smell of the woodlands the sound of the river, and enjoying the seasons along with seeing beautiful wildlife... :D

I just like owning them, bit of a hobby that has sent me down different avenues. A bit of tinkering, making stocks for them, etc etc

Pest Control

Target shooting at my club (none competitive) :oops: :lol:

Plinking too

EDIT.
I guess I could be considered a collector too. Only have the four rifles and one pistol atm though.
