Michael,
If you are looking to gain some free gun handling time may I suggest you contact the people at
Capable Partners. They are a group of Minnesota (mainly Twin Cities) sportsmen (and women!) who assist handicapped hunters/fishers. They are always looking for able-body helpers. Of course, you may have to listen to a lot of hunting/fishing stories. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
p.s. The guy with the deer on the homepage is my dad. He was the president of Capable Partners for many years and is a Minnesota-certified gun safety instructor. Not bad for only having one leg.
