besides hunting what all sports can be done with guns????
as we all get older, the strenuous strains that hunting puts on our aged abused bodies(eg heart attacks, knee replacements) hunting becomes virtually impossible for some of the older people to do, but they still have the desire to go out and do some shooting,
what all sports are there in Canada for these people,
i know there is trap /skeet maybe bench rest shooting, cowboy action , is there any other sports and things that come to mind?????

types of shooting
Try sporting clays the walk courses are like golf with a shotgun , if walking is not your thing try five stand. There are several pistol shooting sports ipsic etc. Just getting out and shooting especially with new people is fun in its self.

Biathlon. Now if they would just come up with a downhill version 
OK, maybe its not easier on the body than going hunting...

Never to old!
I cant walk a balance beam, but the extra width of the long board helps me,
I started practicing in parking lots of malls, now I can do modest trails, its good exercise and fun. Im 25, but I didnt get into it til last year, I met a 50 yr old from California who got into it because it was like surfing and snowboarding, but more accessible, and easier on the knees.
