Gents,
I wanted to summarize a few obvious lessons I've learned over the years, and that this forum has reinforced.
1. Be a shooter of guns more than you are a purchaser of guns.
2. Learn from someone better than you.
3. Dry fire.
4. If you don't have the best gear, be the best with what you have. There have been plenty of powerlifting and olympic lifting records set by guys training in their garages with a bar and plates. One the same note, you're probably not going to win at Camp Perry with the rifle you bought at Academy, but you can get pretty darn good with it. One of my mentors would routinely shoot clay pigeons at 600 yards with a plain vanilla Remington 700 using his loads in .308. Thanks, Frank for the Warner flatline article.
5. Money is best spent on ammo, knowledge, and time, NOT more stuff. Unless you're a chick. Then it's in your DNA.
6. If it's important to you, you will make time for it.
Thanks and God bless America
