How I got started shooting

I've been shooting as long as I can remember. My earliest vivid memory is of my father letting me fire his hunting rifle at age five. He was helping me hold it and didn't realize I knew how to cycle the bolt after the shot had been fired - I (instinctively?) cycled the bolt and nearly removed his thumbnail.
