The Proper precaution is to start out small.

By getting a zx-6r, you are throwing precaution to the wind.

Which is the point that you are completely missing.

So I guess if someone "masters" how to shoot a BB gun, they can just run off and start firing that Smith and Wesson .357 like they were Billy The Kid. After all, "it's not the gun, it's the person-with-delusions-of-grandure pulling the trigger", right? :laughing:

a BB gun isnt a legit gun, doesnt fire bullets. If you master, and i mean comptley master how to shoot a .22 pistol, and you are awesome at it, then if you pick up a .357, or a .45. Once you adjust to the wieght and recoil of a new gun, then your ability to shoot it will be much better than someone who just starts on a .45 becasue you will know how to aim, breath, squeeze the trigger, relax and make good shots.

Haha.

I love the connection between the gun and a bike.

But it does hold. If you've never shot a gun before, you don't want to go out and shoot a .357, because it will scare the "poo poo" out of you, and you probably won't even hit the target at all. I spent a long time shooting .22s, 9mms, .35s, etc., and even then when the first time I shot my buddies .357, I jumped the first time I fired it. If that was the first gun I had shot, I probably would've pissed myself.

Or the recoil would have made you hit yourself in the face. :lol:

back in the day my dad thought it would be funny to have my first time shooting a gun be a shotgun, and not just any load. He had me fire a 12 gauge slug for my first shot, it bruised my shoulder and scared the crap outa me.
