Is it guns you're tired of or is it shooting ?

I'm tired of having so many different calibers as well as calibers that I don't shoot often (7.5 swiss, 8mm).
I'd love to have started over and just gotten AR/AK's and a few 9mm pistols, but I have about 15 different calibers now. At the same time I wouldn't give up the guns I have now to consolidate calibers because I love each rifle the same and don't think I could (haven't yet) part with one. |

I was debating today "hmm...do I need an AK74 now? Centerfire has some Bulgy ones pretty damn cheap right now...."...and this is after the fact I have close to a dozen AKM variants.
No, guns don't tire me...not having enough money for everything I want tires me!

Quoted: don't get me wrong, I support the second amendment in its pure form 100%. I am pro-gun everything. However, the luster has faded and the appeal is all but gone. I see guns for the heavily marketed, cold, lifeless chunks or steel, aluminum, plastic and wood that they are, and no longer drool over them and daydream. Maybe its the high prices or the dwindling places to shoot along with tighter range restrictions that have soured my grapes. they just don't make me happy anymore. I will keep a few essential pieces, but my days of obsession are rapidly declining, and I don't see this as a bad thing. Life takes balance and that is something I have to keep track of better. Anyone else toned back their gun nuttiness? Or am I an arfcom heretic who shall be burned at the stake. mmmmm steak....yum..... Perhaps you should consider some form of competetive shooting? That lifeless chunk of steel needs a rifleman to make it come alive. |

I got tired of them for a few months, after I came back from deployment. I thought about which ones I would buy and how fun they would be to shoot when I got back. Took a bunch of leave and shot every other day. After a week of that I was done for a couple of months. Not only that but I had trouble finding ammo. Now I started reloading and that is fun trying to bring group size down. USPSA is also a good time. Something more that blasting away at the range.

 Not really into it anymore. Still have them for self defense but don't really enjoy shooting. I only shoot to get my skillset up. ETA It's odd to because when I was a poor college student I would spend more of a portion of my income on firearms, training classes, and ammo. Now that I make a lot more money I spend a fraction of that. I think it's cause I started doing BJJ and MMA and realized I could get more bang for my buck training wise by rolling for an hour than shooting for an hour. |

Screw you people that "aren't into guns anymore"... I'm in college right now away from home where I can't access my guns. So please, next time you're at the range, fire at least one shot for me. And enjoy it.

I just can't afford to shoot them anymore.. so they have kind of lost their luster for me. I'd still love to be able to shoot them, but knowing that I have them and can't afford the ammo to shoot them for recreation really bums me out.

I honestly have been for many years now. When I go shooting I do it for my friends and family. I want them to have a good time. Me personally? I dont care for it anymore.
honestly with the price of 5.56 and 7.62 these days, I feel the libbies are winning because I dont like spending that much to shoot. I am just hoarding what i have left. |

Yes, comes and goes in waves for me.
I bought (err, built) my AR at the peak of the last wave, and have probably shot it 50 rounds in 3 years

A suggestion:
Stop buying guns and ammo and Start using them. Can you shoot all of your firearms both left and right handed? With the same accuracy? How about at distances? Yeah, 7 yards is that mythical range, but how about 10, 15, 20, or 100 yards with a handgun? Set a goal or a challenge for yourself. My personal goal shoot the Front Sight Skills test left and right handed with every weapon in my safe. So far I've done it left handed with 3 (1911, XD, Mossberg), and many more to go. Take a friend or coworker shooting. Join a range for a year, then go one time a week (Monday and Tuesday nights are slow at the range). I usually use 5 different handguns, 2 mags each, one left handed, one right handed. The improvement is slow and steady. Don't want to use ammo, go to the garage, basement and dry practice for 10 minutes a day, then hit the range once a week. Just some thoughts. |

I get tired of certain kinds of guns/shooting for a while.
For example, lately I've been in a bolt action phase. I haven't had my AR out in a long, long time. The only thing that never changes is my .22 pistol habit. I never get tired of those, and when I'm living in an environment that allows it, like right now, I take my favorite out and shoot almost every single day. |

I don't research them as much as I use to, so I guess I have also grown tired.
I have tried several combos and have settle on my trusty 1911, AR, riot SG, everything else was sold or traded when the market was in a frenzy. |
