My dad wasn’t a hunter or shooter, our relationship was never very good for other reasons. My grandpa was an avid deer hunter and shooter but not a big collector. My Uncle had an FFL was a big collector and was into duck and deer hunting, and shot on several club leagues. My grandpa and uncle were both big influences. I spent a lot of time up north on my grandparents land learning to hunt and shoot and going to gun shows and gun stores on weekends with my Uncle.
