Losing my passion

It's heeeeere!  Can't wait to get started.  This is really getting me revved to go back to the range.  I ordered a couple PMags and a Tru-Glo 4x scope today.

Well that didn't take long at all!



I know, it's pretty boring and not very tacticool, but it's my first attempt.  Sure hope it works.  Too bad the scope and magazines won't arrive until Tuesday late day.  

Now I'm itching to get to the range!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this type of thing happens to everyone at one time or another.

I experienced it a number of years ago. At the time my wife and I had crappy jobs and too many expenses. I was trying to get a photography business off the ground, so time away from my "real job" was consumed by picture taking. Out of necessity to buy new equipment and pay bills, I had to sell almost every firearm I owned. Some great stuff went away - a Colt 1909 .45, two S&W .44 Specials, an essentially NIB 1903A3 Springfield with DCM paperwork, etc. I was down to one handgun and shotgun. I didn't handload a single cartridge for perhaps five or six years. I couldn't afford the gas to drive to the range even if my shooter's soul hadn't been ripped from my chest.

But time passed and better careers followed. Not only did our balance sheet improve, a certain tv show called "Shooting Gallery" helped rebuild the long smoldering fires. My collection is still smaller than in "the good ol' days" but I again enjoy what I do own. We have children now and I look forward to the day I will teach them how to shoot and safely handle firearms. I go hunting a few days a year and am slowly creeping back into competitive shooting.

BAC, hang in there. Your last couple of posts show you never truly lost your shooter's heart. Glad to have you back!
