Here’s a controversial one: Target shooting.
It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.
And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos and try to cosplay as some military/special forces/action movie hero at the range ruined it.

I feel sorry for you - I live in one of those socialist hellhole countries where owning a gun requires annual testing that you can actually hit a target (50/100 on a B8 target for beginners, not exactly tough) and pass a psych test. Going to the range is lovely here, and competitions are usually paired with a nice meal afterwards for people to socialise.
I watch US videos, and most of them just seem insane. One notable exception is the JaredAF channel, that guy can really properly target shoot.

Switzerlahd? When I lived in Denmark the laws were about that tough, though still surprisingly simple after I gained citizenship.

For a moment I thought you meant shooting up a Target store.

That isn’t what it means? … Shit, I should clean this mess up.

Same, man. I like it, from the meditation-like state when you take it serious to the gun goes bang part when you are just messing around. But some of the people, man… Where do I start.
I think I should go again regardless, if everyone with wane opinions leaves, that would be surrendering.

I used to enjoy going to the range. Apparently the one I frequented in my youth was all army guard/reserves and prior service, because when I moved and sought out a new place it was a fucking clown show. Simple shit like ‘keep your weapon pointed up and downrange’ is too fucking hard for these gravy seal shitbags.
