I truly distance myself from the DDprepper image, We shoot for fun, as a social activity, as is the law everything is properly secured, and would be extremely difficult to access in a home invasion or aggravated burglary scenario, and we have all seen TEOWAWKI films anything less that the hollowed out volcano in the middle of an ocean full of sharks with laser beams and the odds are pretty grim My aim here is to get people out there interacting, using these things as they are intended in this country, you'll have fun, you'll learn to be safe, you'll make friends, and with luck you'll learn to balance, being a bit better prepared for what might as a long shot happen with the reality of just how woefully unlikely any family would be to get through a bad one, and just enjoy the activity for what it is!
Another thing I encourage for folk who think about feeding themselves post SHTF is a safe, legal experiment, get out to the woods with a camera and "shoot" these animals which you expect to keep you alive, but do it in a way you would have to to get in position for an accurate shot, for archery, that's pretty damn close, and for everything it's a skill, and honestly we're having so much fun putting holes in paper that shooting anything living barely enters our head,if we fancy a bit of game meat, the butcher is still far less hassle, and if you factor in your time and expense if you equip yourself for that approach alone, the butcher works out cheaper
