Guess I'd be a 1st generation non-hunter. My father was an avid hunter. As a kid we ate just about everything that flew or walked on four legs. Unfortunately, he did not involve any of his children in hunting or shooting sports. The end results are:

My brother, who had a career in Law Enforcement, loves to shoot and owns quite a few nice guns but does not hunt. His son is very active but has no interest in firearms.

My sister probably has never held a firearm in her life and is ambivalent towards them. Her children and grandchildren have probably never touched a firearm.

As for me, I got into shooting in college (pistol team) and love the sporting/self-defense aspects but have never hunted. My kids have all been to the range many times and the older ones own firearms (gifts from dad).

Bottom line - parents have a huge impact on their children and grandchildren. Seemingly small influences, like a fun hunting experience or trip to the range, can have a significant impact lasting generations.
