(5,477 posts)With all the yahoos hoarding ammunition, it has become rather expensive (if you can even find it). With all of the latest gun-ban talk I don't see it getting any better, any time soon.
In the Air Force I earned my expert marksman medal, and one of the rangemasters used to contact a few of us when they had close-dated ammunition to be 'destroyed' (one round at a time). I'd like to get out to the local range more often, and want to start going to the local skeet and trap club range to learn better shotgun skills.
My niece and nephew are ready for me to take them out again, too. The niece 'hates guns', but she shot a better group than her gun-enthusiast brother and thoroughly enjoyed herself. I also gave them extensive safety training before I took them out the first time.
Yes, it makes for a nice relaxing day...just wish that I was able to enjoy it more often than the 1 or 2 times a year.
