Well, I made my first computer in 1990. Sinclair ZX Spectrum clone. In 1997 I already had few PCs and notebooks. Usually bought used ones for cheap, often broken, fixed them, and used.
Then you go over to the other end.. and try to shoot them back between the goal posts. It was lotsa fun.
IDK, shooting cans from shotgun or even pneumatic handgun exite me more. May be just not my game inherently.
what you want is the damn club to be in the same spot, right.. so if you're moving your arms all over the place.. it's bad.
Kind of. Hands are less repeatable, because there are too many muscles in them, so it is much more complex to command them all properly and precise.
That is why, f.e. in sport handgun shooting, they teach you to grasp a gun in your hand so, that you don't need to move your hand to look stright throgh the gun sight to the foresight. Gun should be positioned like it is a continuation of your strightened arm. And you just rise your whole hand and target is in sight already, you don't need to use dozens of muscles of hand to catch the target in sight, just rise your hand and shoot.
Same with golf. To hit the ball you need stright hand, then it's repeatable and less complex, so much precise, because you have to command only few muscles, not dozens.
Even hammering nails is much easier if you grasp hammer properly beforehand.
Didn't actually play baseball at all. In childhood, I tried to play similar game, "lapta", very old traditional Russian game, but wasn't succesfull in it at all. :)
When I grew up in the country during the 80's, we'd go to the dump and shoot stuff. A buddy had a double barrel shotgun.. when you'd shoot, it'd be like somebody punching you in the shoulder.
I later shot guns.. got a job driving armored car in the early 2000's. So I got a restricted handgun licence, here in Canada. I don't think you can get those anymore around here.
Once I left that job, I let the licence expire. Could have bought a handgun, but you'd wind up in trouble, in jail. Somebody could wind up dead. I was like.. naw.
But yeah.. I just looked up:
"can you still get a handgun license in canada"
Cause I think I heard in the news in recent months.. you can't any more!
"Yes, a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) is still needed to own and use firearms, including handguns, in Canada. However, there's a national freeze on the sale, purchase, or transfer of handguns by individuals, and on bringing newly acquired handguns into Canada"
Fuck, are they ever getting super uptight with that shit. Meanwhile, over the border in the US, it's like the wild west.
But yeah.. when I had that job, I was shooting a 38 special, so like a revolver. Didn't learn like the glock or type with a magazine in the end, like the movies. I don't know how those work.
But the 6 cylinder, I got the hang of that. At first, it was like.. off target, but that's cause you're pulling the trigger and it moves it over. You gotta squeeze the trigger a bit, re-line the sight, and then do the shot. Passed the bullseye target tests.
Also shot this Remington shotgun they'd have in the cab. You'd have like 5 shots in the barrel.. That was really soft recoil compared to the double barrel at the dump. That pump-action shotgun was nice too. Gotta watch it on the target though that none of the little bullets go off it cause somebody else could get hit.
