Since I left the military, I haven't been shooting nor I plan to go. I'm not opposed to weapons or shooting. It's just something I desire to engage in since I transitioned. After being out two years, I still occasionally think about range qualification days. I know many of my comrades and vets who own personal weapons and still go shooting today. I'm a bit curious about the post-service shooting choices. Do you still shoot or no? Why or why not?

yes. It's a degradeable skill. If you don't shoot, you lose your skill, like any sport. It depends on if that maters to you or not. If you don't hunt or have any interest in sport shooting, then it may not matter to you. It's a personal choice.

Yes..To keep my muscle memory up. I also use a pellet gun when I don't go to the range and focus in on the fundamentals.

BTW, if there's anyone in the DFW area looking for a good place to go shoot, Target Time in Rendon (SW corner of the metroplex) is a great place to go... nice folks, family owned, I've never seen any of the "Shoot sideways gangsta style" crowd there.
