Self-Portrait of the Artist and Her Father c. 1988

Sport and target shooting is about my connections with my family; with my father and grandfather and uncles and sister. It’s an outlet for my energy, for my competitive nature, for my mental focus. It’s my friends and my community. I resist and resent the labels, the assumption that we’re all “rednecks” or uneducated or “gun nuts” or “right wing”, the idea that we don’t care as much (or more) about firearms safety than those who don’t own guns, the accusation that we aren’t just as horrified by shooting tragedies as everyone else. Let’s back away from the extremes, stop listening to the lobbyists, and find a dialogue together.
