What was the first firearm you ever shot?

[Alan]

I am curious to hear everyone’s stories, what was the very first firearm you ever shot, and how did it go?

Winchester model 63, probably about 1960.... I was a bit younger back then....

That’s a great first rifle to start with!

Starting out with an M1 Garand in the USMC must have been a powerful first experience

A Springfield Model 15 in .22LR is a great starting point

Actually the instructors were so good that it was a piece of cake. We had three weeks of instruction-- that helped too.
