Long time lurker here.
I’ve been target shooting for 12 years now, and maybe it’s the club I’m in, but the enthusiasm has totally gone.
I can’t decide whether to sell up and draw a line under it, or try another club.
I shoot at Bisley and loathe the place and the old-boys-club mentality. I am one of the youngest in my club, despite pushing 40, and have very little in common with the other members.
it’s now got to the point that I pretty much dread shooting; the long drive, the loneliness of standing on a range with nothing to say to the other club members, the expense. I’m wondering how many times can I make a hole in paper and still enjoy it.
Maybe my AI is too good, it’s too easy?
I guess this is more of a rant than a conversation.
In an ideal scenario there would be a practical shotgun venue near me in the middle of Surrey, as this feels like an actual challenge.
I used to shoot clays but struggle with the tweed brigade, it’s not my scene but I really enjoy the shoot.
what do you do when the enthusiasm goes?
