So I mean the long and short of it, you know, I as a kid. I was always into into guns and bows and

Just kind of follow that and and you know for me my father had some guns did a little bit of hunting

But he wasn't you know, I wouldn't say he was a hunter or shooter at all

Okay, but but the good thing for me is my parents were always supportive of whatever

Older brothers wanted to you know kind of do our hunter safety and and do all that my dad was air took us sat through it and I still remember even the first
