No offense intended? Seriously?
I can't measure how much enjoyment others get from this hobby. Certainly one aspect is X's and O's, another, cartridges /bird.
I'm glad that our clubs get some business at this time of year.
It keeps the sport alive.
Come one, come all, We'll help you hit more of what you shoot at.
Near as I can tell, at this moment of our lives, there are only a few devoted hunter/shooter's or shooter hunter's posting on BBS type websites anymore.
It's just the changing technology and aging of the cadre.
If you are shooting at 10K clay birds/year, and another 500 live birds (or more) per annum, you won't have much company on BBS's. But whether anyone believes you or not, you'll know absolutely the significant difference between a clay birds flight, and that of a live animal.
I think some gun writer said that the cost of being a naturally good game shot was constant practice.
