The following is from the  National Shooting Sports Foundation, which occasionally posts Q&As features with elected officials who support hunting and the shooting sports.

Who introduced you to hunting/the shooting sports, and at what age?

I was introduced to shooting sports by my dad and my brother.

The first gun I ever shot was a 20-gauge shotgun. Not bad, right?

What was your most recent shooting sports/hunting experience? With whom?
