What shooting related job would you like to work in?

Some of you will already.

Gun shop is the obvious answer except I fkn hate retail! :lol:

Shooting test groups at the Anschütz factory with all the rifles they make before sale sounds like a winning job to me :D

I'd like to be a photographer "Shooting" for Penthouse but I suspect you meant the other type of shooting. In which case I'd like to work for Barrett in load development so I could spend quality time behind the trigger and get paid to improve my skills.

Product tester for any of the major firearms manufacturers. Since I don't see that happening I'd choose gunsmith

Basics for me pro full time roo culler, have known others doing it and for the work involved they make a killing an both senses. Second to that being a trained gunsmith would be neat too, I've done a lot of mods and repairs and enjoy doing it, be like any job though good at the start then repetition kicks in along with the boredom

Ideally spending 6 months a year up the cape and getting paid per kill without having to gut and keep them. Other than that designing firearms would be a bit of fun.
