Three years ago at 22 years old I didn't own a gun. Now I own 13 and 5 others have come and gone for one reason or another. Now if you add in all the accessories and optics I have bought for all of them it is a good chunk of change. But the one one thing I clearly haven't spent enough money but more importantly time with is practice. I go months without shooting a gun and still have a couple I bought this summer I have yet to shoot. Now when I look at it I went about it all backwards. I should of bought fewer guns and put the rest of the money I spent on guns on range time and training. I have decided to take a break from buying guns until I do two things.
1) Practice. My goal would be to improve my acuracy to the point where I can consistently hit a coke can at 25 yards with a pistol. Nothing super fancy but it is an uptainable goal and I can go from there. In practicing more and more I will become more familiar with my guns and using them will become more second nature.
2) Learn. I want to get as much info as possible. I have all sorts of guns from pump shotguns to auto shotguns to revolvers to 1911. I want to learn how they all work and what makes them go boom. What the difference is between a ar15 and an m4. I basically want to learn it all. This will be ongoing because we never stop learning but I want to start.
(If anyone has any suggestions for books to read or where to get this info I would greatly appreciate it.)
When I feel that I have acomplished this I will start improving my collection, and hopefully learning the inner workings will help make more educated purchases. THR has helped me realize I don't know anything about something I want to know everything so I beter start studying
