Hunting once or twice a year is a far cry from practicing 3-gun drills weekly, staying in shape, and knowing your gear because you use it regularly...
My “gear” consists of 3 pistols, 2 shotguns & 5 rifles ranging from .22 to 7mm mag.
You may not believe this, but I do know them well...and they know me well. I don’t need to use them 3 times a week because I have the mental capacity to remember how to use them from the last I used them...and I’ve had some of these “friends” for over 45 years. Can’t get any better than that can it?
When (and if) the time comes to defend what’s left of our freedoms, believe me...I will take out as many as you think you can.
As far as staying in shape...I will have an iced down cooler of Coronas beside me to make me braver than I normally would. My shape is kinda round and I spent many years making it that way. When I shoot long range I’m normally using a tripod or laying prone so staying in shape has absolutely nothing to do with how well you shoot.
No. But I AM a much better shot than most Fudd's on the range that dust off their trusty .243 once a year..
