If you can't take something down in 10 bullets, you probably shouldn't even own a gun.

Generations of gun owners have taught their sons and daughters that it takes as much patience and skill to be a good shot as it does to be a good steward of a powerful weapon.

I love long-range rifle shooting. I like anything that deals with precision. I also find that with archery. On my ranch, I have my own range with 3-D targets of animals and hay bales from different distances.

It's incredible. Twenty-three minutes on the air, and I've got to shoot for twelve, fifteen hours a day. What the hell's that?

It's a fun thing to do: Go to a shooting range with a buddy, knock off a few rounds, release stress.

It's easy to be quick on the draw when no one has got real bullets.

I've learned that guns are exceptionally challenging to use effectively, with a power that must be respected. But mostly what I've learned is that they're a lot of fun, and dangerously appealing to an active imagination.

I had a gun and I had to run and shoot, which is not easy.

You know, if you need 100 rounds to kill a deer, maybe hunting isn't your sport.

To shoot a gun proficiently, including speed shooting, is much less of a skill than typing.
