yeah I can understand the situation.
Tight quarters, fast moving targets, beer. ; -]

Just like flying. Never drink until after.

Sad that it doesn't seem to go that way anymore.

My folks don't hunt anymore because they kept running into people's trash,
which almost always includes beer cans. Ironically, most recently they
found them on opening day, after bow-hunting season had just closed. So it
wasn't the rifle-hunters, but the bow so-called "sportsmen." Traditionally,
people might expect the opposite to be true.

Maybe in the old days kids received weapon safety training more commonly
(4-H, etc), so the values were instilled very early on. Nowadays I don't
think people receive a fraction of the exposure to weapons and hunting as
before.

'Course, that could be nostalgia.
