on my own is somewhat intimidating. I feel like screwing something up is more likely and consequences much greater than when I learned to fly fish.
That said, I finally did hunters safety and the teacher gave me a candy bar for each of 1) highest score in the class on the game-identification quiz he gave 2) highest score on the written exam and 3) best grouping on the shooting portion. So theoretically I'm a natural, right?.... right?
Still will probably never do it on my own.
