Without shooting?
And how awesome was it when you got back to the range?!? How rusty were you? Was there a particular gun that you were really jonesing to shoot?
For me it was about 3 months late last year...I just never got to the range. Busy with holidays and work...it was a pretty glorious range trip when I finally got back there. The gun in question I just had to shoot was my 1911. I got it last summer and shot it several times before life got hectic, I loved it right away, so when after sitting in the safe for a few months it was calling my name. Of course I shot like crap the first time back (handguns really are a perishable skill) but I felt great! Better than any massage for sure. This was after Christmas, and I have been shooting about 4 times since (more typical of my range trip frequency).
I figure the forum could use some fun anecdotes for levity in contrast with all the threads about legislation lately...
For the sake of simplicity, say in the past few years. Obviously I don't care about the 6 years you didn't shoot between the age of zero and 6
