canvasback, I agree with your point of view. We're just going to have to suck it up and keep plodding along.
The qualifying words of my negative view of the future of the shooting sports were "as I know it."
Most of it is gone now, and becoming "more expensive and difficult to do," as forecast above.
A members' survey a while ago indicated our average age is somewhere in the 50s. Many never experienced real enjoyment of open spaces.
King, I believe I understood your qualifier. I'm about 30 years younger and it is vastly different already for me.
When I have referred to your comments on that specific topic, which I think I have now done twice, what I am really thinking is I wish there was something I could say or write that might cause you to be more hopeful that future generations will find some of the immense pleasure I know you and the rest of us have already found in the outdoors and the shooting sports (and fishing for that matter). It will be different but perhaps just as wonderful for them as it has been for us.
All is not yet lost!!
