My limitation is the mid-age eyes and the "family twitch" (aka essential tremors)
Strangely, it's one of the things that has pushed me more into collecting and admiring the aesthetic side of firearms.
I've got shaky hands so it's kinda hard to make bullseye shots when the front sight is dancing all over the target!
You didn't list range access, so I'm an "Other". Only two local ranges. One range close to me is a private club, but open to the public. But half the time it's closed to the public for a competition, preparation, clean up, maintenance, or whatever. The other range is a 180 mile round trip.
I think that for more of us then we would like to admit, a lot of it is motivation.
Sorry to hear about your eye disease, but I am glad you can at least enjoy shooting. A friend of my dad's is entirely blind so can't shoot, but still collects firearms. It puzzled me at first, but if you think of the mechanical touch and feel of firearms, all the different materials and textures, the history behind each type, and the cool sounds they make when cycling the action and stuff, it makes perfect sense.
Time and money. I've got a family, work all the overtime I can get (which isn't much lately) and spend most of my time and money with and on my family. I spend enough of shooting to stay proficient, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking I'm getting any better right now.
I reckon I have peaked.
