When did you shoot your first AR/M16?

I can't remember the exact date, but my high school girlfriends brother bought an AR-15 and I was fascinated with it. It took a few months, but one afternoon he called me and we went out and shot it. I remember thinking it felt like I couldn't miss compared to all the hunting rifles I had fired. I believe that was August of 1978, I was 17 years old. In 1983 I graduated college and got a job. One of the 1st things I bought with my new found income was a Colt AR-15.

Fast forward to 2000 and I fired my first M16.

When did you shoot your first AR-15 or M16?

About 1975 I guess. Burning up that cheap PMC ball ammo. Woohoo.

2005 on my friends property. It was an Armalite AR15 made by Eagle Arms. It was basically an HBAR A-2 clone.
