I'm not recommending this particular pastime, but:
A couple years prior to the turn of the last century in rural northwest Missouri, my Grandpa was bedridden for about a year with Rheumatic Fever. So for entertainment, my Great Grandpa bought him a new Winchester Model 1890 .22 pump to shoot out his bedroom window at a target range he set up on a fence. After a few months, Grandpa got pretty good with that little rifle.
However, his shooting was derailed for a while when Great Grandpa & Great Grandma returned home in the buckboard one afternoon after going into town for supplies, and caught little Gramps shooting a tin can off his sister's (Aunt Dessie) head out in the yard. Wish we still had that Winchester.
