Seems to me desire without the means to support it won't get you anywhere. You can have all the desire in the world, but if you're working your butt off to support yourself (not to mention maybe a family), there's not enough left over--neither time nor money--to devote to a hobby to get really good at it. Unless maybe you live next to a football field and your desire is to become an NFL placekicker. Free access to the field, a ball and a tee, and you can work on it to your heart's content. But shells and reloading supplies have gotten more expensive. Targets have gotten more expensive. Gas, to get you to the range, costs almost twice now what it did when Bush left office. And a lot of people in the current economy count themselves lucky if they're just spinning their wheels and not seeing their income go down.

Well, maybe Obamacare will save folks enough on insurance that they can afford to shoot more. smile
