... Tell me a bit about your shooting patterns.

Meaning, for me at least, my shooting hobbies and patterns fluctuate in intensity over time.

Sometimes for long stretches I’m going gangbusters. I’ll go shooting every chance I get and cycle all my weapons, digest gobs of ammo, read all related firearm literature and buy every “accessory” I can afford (and not afford) at the time.

Other times I’m in a lull and won’t even open my safe for weeks. I’ll even slack off on concealed carry sometimes. No gun-related purchases, back off on fun shows and generally couldn’t give a shit.

Then months later I’ll revert back and so on.

Do you “cycle” like this?

fall and winter= guns and ammo
spring and summer= fishing rods,reels and lure's

I am opposite of tnrifleman. spring summer is dcm / long range rifle fall winter is archery/wood craft for me.
cycles sounds like a woman thing to me[:)]

... You are right and at least I can discipline myself better on this aspect. It's mostly the hobby part the ebbs & flows for me.

... At least I'm going to CavArms here shortly to see the demo!

Spring, summer & early fall = shoot, shoot, shoot for me.

Late fall & winter it's tumble brass, trim cases and fill up the ammo cans for the next year.

I hate picking cases out of the snow!!!
