I can't really explain it, I think it's something you pick up on early. I got my first BB gun when I was eight, a .22 when I was ten, and a 410 when I was 12. I grew up shooting. I just plain enjoy it.
It's kind of different for me now though. The use of firearms is part of my job. I've worked with several different weapon systems from around the world. I've put hundreds of thousands of rounds downrange, if not more.
The collecting side of firearms for me is more of a historical intrest. I own firearms that are part of history. For example, my M1 Garand was made in 1941 and was used in Europe throught WWII.
The shooting side is to help me improve and maintain the knowledge of firearms that I have. For me, firearms are tools of the trade, and like any trade, practice makes prefect. Plus, shooting is just plain fun.
