[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2766345, member: 124909"] I’m with you completely. I don’t compete. I too have slimmed my process down considerably. I shoot way more than the average guy but a whole lot less the some. I can’t take the wear and tear of shooting a lot now. I used to burn about 50,000 rounds a year shooting clays but now I’d rather try to read the wind and throw 15 bullets down range in an afternoon and socialize a bit. I rarely hunt. But I do help some farmer buddies out with depredation. I don’t do tree stands anymore. I got old really fast at 35 in a treestand accident. I like to experiment because I made a pact with myself after my accident. I figured if I couldn’t do much physically, the least I could do was try to get smarter. Whether that worked the jury is still out. I couldn’t walk unassisted for 3.5 years or put my own socks on for that matter. 9 operations, one complete rebuild, and 11 fused vertebra later I light an x ray up like a Christmas tree and set a metal detector on fire from a long way off. But, I can stand up straight, walk, tie my shoes, and put my socks on now. But, I can’t shoot prone. All that means I enjoy the little thing more now, and trying to learn new stuff everyday keeps me going. Mostly I’m just a good ole boy that makes up for not being too bright by doing some really stupid things from time to time. But I do enjoy those things a lot more than I used to. [/QUOTE]
