Anyone ever go backwards with guns?
I did a huge downsize of my life a few years back, and gave a lot of my guns to my kids, grandkids, nephew and niece. I just was not interested in them anymore. I still loved to shoot, but not with the guns I gave away. I went backwards.
Now the only guns I own and shoot a lot, would look at home in a Tom Sellech western or a Humphrey Bogart film noir. Of the six handguns I kept, five of them are revolvers. Of the three rifles I kept, two are lever actions, and one a single shot. I had the modern ones with the high cap magazines, but one day I looked around at all the stuff I had accumulated, and said to myself "What the heck am I doing with all this crap?"
Now, both the better half and I have less and simpler, but we're shooting more and enjoying it more. I may not be able to shoot in a military match, but I can sure do the cowboy action shoot.
Anyone else here get burned out on the lastest whiz bangs?
