This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Here's a controversial one: Target shooting.

It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.

And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos ruined it.

Welcome to "gun people who hate gun people"

How will that end ?

I used to enjoy going to the range. Apparently the one I frequented in my youth was all army guard/reserves and prior service, because when I moved and sought out a new place it was a fucking clown show. Simple shit like 'keep your weapon pointed up and downrange' is too fucking hard for these gravy seal shitbags.

I feel sorry for you - I live in one of those socialist hellhole countries where owning a gun requires annual testing that you can actually hit a target (50/100 on a B8 target for beginners, not exactly tough) and pass a psych test. Going to the range is lovely here, and competitions are usually paired with a nice meal afterwards for people to socialise.

I watch US videos, and most of them just seem insane. One notable exception is the JaredAF channel, that guy can really properly target shoot.

For a moment I thought you meant shooting up a Target store.

That isn't what it means? ... Shit, I should clean this mess up.

Same, man. I like it, from the meditation-like state when you take it serious to the gun goes bang part when you are just messing around. But some of the people, man... Where do I start.

I think I should go again regardless, if everyone with wane opinions leaves, that would be surrendering.
