Hi Zulch. I will give you some of the reasons I don't shoot much anymore. First is my health or rather problems from diabetes. I have nephropathy in my lower legs and feet and it makes it hard to walk on uneven terrain like out in the woods of fields to shoot at my buds land. With the numbness in my feet I stumble over branches and roots I can't feel. And since my bud built his home made airplane he no longer cares much about shooting. His whole life is wrapped up in his plane. And I mean whole life. If he isn't flying it he is working on it. I never saw anything that needs so friggin' much maintenance done to it. He will still shoot a little but its not like it used to be.
And I guess getting older I don't have the desire to shoot like I did 40+ years ago or even 5 years ago. Or even deer hunt. I am the only one who likes the meat and usually end up giving it back to my bud who eats lots of deer meat. I don't know your age but I bet you are young and raring to go when it comes to shooting. Thats how I was when I really started way back around 1982. I would go shoot two-three times a week. And I loved to hunt. didn't matter what. Just as long as I got to go hunt. So enjoy yourself. Its a great sport. And I'm not going to sell all my guns. Some are earmarked for my two sons. Some I just really like to look at and handle. But I have way too many guns for my own use anymore. So sending a few to others who would like to have them seems like the right thing to do.
Take care and thanks for asking.
