It seems as time goes on and after moving to another state last year. I do more collecting than shooting. I know Covid had a lot to do with it but also, I am not able to just walk out back and shoot like i did on my previous property and have to find places to shoot. Sometimes I wonder if i am still as enthusiastic as i was before about shooting, although i love to, it takes a lot more effort to shoot these days. Ammo has never been an issue as i was hoarding for decades when on sale cheap, I dont think i will ever run out, lol.
I have not read the other replies yet, but wanted to respond to your post.
I am lucky enough to walk out my back door and I can shoot anything I own or even think about owning.....not sure on that great deal on a 20mm, but cross that bridge when and if I ever get there.
Just this year I am starting to "do" again, been in pain for so long, so many surgeries, I just felt like doing nothing....NOTHING. Finally now just this year I am doing again, and there is just so much to do....all the way around not just playing with gunz.
Shooting, some things still hurt, actually hurt. So I really don't shoot much "big" stuff anymore, once in a blue moon. I really do love reloading, and load development, however you know the rule, never shoot anyone else reloads, so I don't even want friends shooting my reloads, so I do most of the center fire rifle from a lead sled. I really want to play the long range games, and think the weight of the rifle, as well as the fairly soft shooting 6-ish mm cartridges in that game would allow me to play, I have shot others and while I am not gong to be hauling that heavy rifle all over the place just laying there prone and shooting I could do without much issue....those heavy pigs do eat up recoil pretty well.
As to ammo right there with you, I have stuff I loaded up in 2016 that I am just now shooting, as well as an over flowing 40mm ammo box of rimfire....I think I am set.
One game I did play was the different clay games, and I liked a bit heaver 20g shotgun. I did play a few rounds with an auto 5 16 and it really is not that bad....I could do a round of sporting clays....I felt it but I had fun doing it.
I will from time to time just grab something that has not seen love in...YEARS....and not shoot it but take it down, clean it up, cycle it a time or two, and just look and enjoy it.
