Dang. Well, all good things must come to an end. MB is getting older...I hope he keeps up with the podcast and news on the shooting sports. It was a good run. New shows are always exciting and The Best Defense has had a long and honored run.
I wonder with the current political climate are people training like they used to? I feel like they aren't. I also feel like the urgency felt when Obummer was in office ain't there today and we're letting our guard down. Fewer people participating across the board.
I guess you can only shoot one gun at a time and there has been a lot of AR stockpiling for a rainy day that people don't feel is as near as it once was. The prices on AR's is at rock bottom...I picked up a Palmetto State AR pattern 308 upper and lower under $450 last week. The prices reflect the interest.
We are all enjoying the drop in ammo prices but with that goes the focus. I'm certainly not buying several thousand rounds a year to train with...some of it's that getting older thing but the big thing is my boys are grown so I'm not bringing them to the range. Now, when I finally retire I want to start traveling and shooting some competitions...like Alf said he was going to do.
Oh, Alf...where the heck are you and how is that going? Long time no post!
Realistically, I think most people here use that damn Faceybookey thing that tracks the heck out of you and shares your information to make $$$$'s. I suspect, though I don't know, that Faceybook takes less thought then composing and posting on a regular board.
This forum has a wealth of information on all types of subjects. It would be a shame to lose it. It's a bigger shame to not be able to keep up with you guys.
