My father owned a golf driving range for a number of years; and latterly, he decided to include an archery range as a part of the operation. Both my brother and I worked at the 'range', and learned to hit a fair ball and shoot a fairly accurate bow over time.
Later, I learned to target shoot with rifles at a rifle range when getting ready for hunting season. I really enjoy the activity.
It wasn't long before I wanted to branch out, and obtained a restricted weapons approval on my Possession Acquisition Licence. Shooting at the local range is a great challenge sport.
I think biathlon is an amazing expression of shooting combined with athletics and never fail to be jaw-dropping amazed at the accuracy of shooters who must be breathing very hard when they pop off those targets.
