Why You Should Wear Hunters Orange
Hunters Orange Is very important when hunting. It shows other hunters that you are not an animal and to not shoot you. I believe hunters orange is very important for Dove, pheasants, quails, and turkeys. Turkey hunters are more prone to shoot first before actually knowing what it is. If you wear camo and move around another hunter might mistake you for a turkey and then proceed to shoot you. It has happened many times. If you wear hunters orange, even a vest, then you will stand out just enough so another hunter wont 't mistake you for a turkey. I myself only hunt Black tail deer and do not wear hunters orange. I feel that it is not important to wear hunters orange when hunting deer. Most of the time you are a significant distance away from the deer so most of the time you are not in immediate danger from other hunters.

Why the .243 is the Best Hunting Round for Deer
In my opinion, I believe the .243 Winchester is the best round for hunting deer, Black tail and White tail. I have hunted black tail for many years and I believe that the .243 is the smallest round to take down a deer. The smaller the caliber the smaller the entry and exit wound. That means less meat that has a bullet in it(more meat in your freezer). As long as you have a good shot, a .243 is more than enough to take down a full size buck. You can go larger than a .243 such as a .270, 30-06, or a 30-30. If you do go bigger in caliber size than that will mean a bigger entry and exit spot. Which means more meat will be ruined by the bullet. That is why I choose a .243 to hunt deer.

My Passion for Guns
When I was a young boy, my father got me into guns and hunting. He taught me the fundamentals of guns and how to be safe with them at all times. Every time I look at the news I see school shootings or people who misuse guns. They are ruining the reputation of guns. Many people think guns are just weapons to use for massacre. They have a negative connotation to them and I want that to change. Guns are not always used for killing/hunting. They can be used for recreational purposes such as: skeet shooting and target practice. The people who commit these insane shooting crimes are not right in the head. They either have mental problems or have been bullied their whole life. The problem isn't the guns. It's the families who grow these people up who don't know how to handle guns or are the people who get bullied so much that there is no helping them. People need to stop ruining the reputation of guns.

My Memory of Shooting My First Gun
The first time I shot a gun was when I was six. I remember the day to the tee. It was a warm summer evening, my father brought out his .22 caliber rifle and asked me if I wanted to shoot it. I said yes and I was glad because It became one of the best days I have ever had. We shot for an hour, while my dad showed me the ropes. We both had a great time shooting together and even to this day we both shoot regularly, at the gun range or In our backyard. We always have a great time together and It Is a stress reliever for the both of us. We have made our own father son tradition and we will continue to shoot together.

Why Gun Safety?
Gun safety is a collection of rules and regulations that are for storing, possessing and most importantly handling firearms. There are 10 basic rules for guns "10 Commandments."The reason I chose this topic is because I am a gun enthusiast and want to educate other people about gun safety. Guns around the world have been in the news in a bad way. I want to help educate people and make guns have a positive connotation.
The ten commandments are as follow: 1.Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. 2.Firearm should remain unloaded when not using it. 3.Don't rely on your guns safety mechanisms. 4.Be sure of your target and what is behind it. 5. Use proper ammunition. 6.If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care. 7.Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting. 8.Make sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting. 9.Don't alter or modify your gun and have it serviced regularly. 10.Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm you are using.
