Growing in a small town, guns were common for hunting, but we mostly bird hunted, so I had never touch a rifle, until now. I was at a conference--the fun kind of conference where we learned about survival survival, new gear, hunting skills, and much more--and getting nervous as the days ticked past because I knew I would be shooting a SCOUTE Precision hunting rifle. 

These feelings were new for me. As a kid, the thought of loading up my Dad's truck with the shot guns, some clay pigeons, and our dog brought me joy. Yet, those days were well behind me and I had not shot a gun for nearly 12 years, so, I guess that makes sense why I was nervous. But, that didn't matter.
