For years, I'd hit the range for a day of shooting, the gun bug has hit,so I have 13 rifles of various makes,7 handguns of various calibers and makes,started reloading,each rifle and handgun liked certain load and bullet designs and weights etc. Ended up with a bunch of tack drivers.
Also purchased some periodic six shooter and carbines, all were a hoot to shoot,but after of years,got kinda boring, I could basically hit anything I shot at.
So,after talking to some gun buddies, I got into competition shooting, that turned out to be what was needed.
I love to shoot period, but it wasnt much challenge after awhile.
Competition,thought I'd kick ass when I'd first started,but to make a long story short,shooting under a timer and different shooting senerios,even at target close in was slow going.
Now days I can race through it and hit what Im shooting at,but their is alot of such shooters adoing a much.
But, your with like minded folks,most are there for fun & humor,but their is some serious shooters.
Also, you may consider Cowboy shooting, you'll be operating two six shooter,carbine and a shotgun in a matter of minutes,multiple guns in each shooting stage, all shooters can learned alot by cowboy shooters.
