Well by that definition I must be a very rare person.

My - then - 14 year old took up fullbore target shooting as his sporting hobby.
In order for him to have a rifle to use exclusively I had to get a Firearms License which I did.
I had no previous firearms experience and no particular interest in shooting myself.

To own a firearm and ammunition I obtained my FAL, then a rifle, then began reloading for my son.

We're onto our third rifle now for fullbore target shooting - this time a specialised target rifle built up from components.
