AIBU to be concerned about partners Facebook post?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice and to check if I'm possibly overreacting.

My partner and I have been together for 2 years and I've never seen his Facebook as I don't use it. Tonight, out of curiosity I had a scroll through and saw a video of him from about 2 months before we met.

In the video, he is in a gun range in America (which doesn't bother me). However, the target he is shooting at is a picture of a woman (sort of Grand Theft Auto style picture). He's clearly aiming for the head / face and has captioned it 'getting out some aggression'.

AIBU to be a bit concerned about this? It feels quite aggressive to be shooting at a woman, rather than a normal target? Perhaps I'm overreacting but I'm seeing him in a different light now.

Would love to get some opinions.

I went to a gun range in America a few years back, it happened to be just after I split up with a nasty ex bf, my friends and I had a giggle saying "pretend it's your ex, aim for the face!"
It was daft and a way to let off steam, I promise I never, in real life had any violent impulses or considered anything even remotely like that. I was just with friends who were trying to lighten a crap situation.

If there are no other issues and he seems respectful I would forget a video from
A few years ago.

If it was me it'd be a picture of Donald Trump or Jacob Rees Mog. So does that make me a man hater?

I think you're over thinking it 😂

YABU and over thinking it. I shot at crow shaped targets and was very good at it! I however will not be spending my spare time hiding in bushes taking out crows, they are amazing birds.
