Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Jack, it happens to many of us through the years pard. Health has been really been cutting into my cowboy recently ut there was also somewhat a burnout involved also. I used to love fishing but gave it up completely to play with guns but been thinking lately that it sure would be nice to wet a hook one more time. Bought me a small used jon boat last week and as soon as I can I will git a 10 horse to push it. A day alone on the water will make the whole world go away fer a short spell, try it, you'll like it. Not to sure how well I can handle not having a chew and some cold beer though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Wind-Walker #36748 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Jack........... Sometimes the answer to "Burn Out"...is to diversify.......... We do CAS 2nd & 4th Saturdays here in St. George........... So - I started shooting "Practical Pistol" on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays.........and there are parts of both sports which transfer back and forth and it has helped me be a better shooter.......... Just a thought..........regards......Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come On Christmas Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just got back from Gas station and grocery store :wacko: Might have to sell There is no shame in that my brother. Most all of us have been marginalized in this economy. I pray this is not because of illness in your family or loss of income due to lack of work. I lost my Mom and Mom n law and my wife was up in Iowa for 6 weeks which was costly. I have had to do some deals on the wire and gunbroker and ya know what? I shuffled around and still have plenty of guns to shoot with. I greatly reduced the herd of black powder weapons and sniped some deals and now I have more toys than I ever did. Do I really shoot my derringer that much? No. I sold a Winchester breakdown and bought a Chinchester for $180. Tight as Richards hat band. Crummy wood, but who cares. I will inherit some money this summer and ya know what? I am gonna buy a rig of speedy quickness from ya. You have the word of a Master Mason. Don't despair you have friends. Thomas J.

Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Jack-have you TRIED IDPA?? I have, and it ain't 1/2 the fun of CAS, if ANY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Houston # 35508 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Jack-have you TRIED IDPA?? I have, and it ain't 1/2 the fun of CAS, if ANY! Yes, I have. You only need 1 gun and alot less ammo! Want to try 3-gun or I've seen video's of 1 pistol and a AR shoots. Can't do any worse than my career in CAS! I'm tired of just being in top ten in Major Matches! No matter what I do there's someone out there better! I reached my Peak in 1966 when my HS football team won Texas State Championship.

Klondike SASS Life #29713 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Who said it was an April Fools Post??? Jack I get a good case of burnout periodically and take a break, in fact I am on one now, not shooting but still making products for the future champions, Sometimes this gives me time to get refreshed and come up with something new. But mostly patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Houston # 35508 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 OK..........I was kidding..........or was I ???? Haven't shot but once since Nov.

Indian Jack. Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 sometimes it is good to do something else for awhile. People can get in a rut. people get tired of seeing and hearing the arguements on the wire and dont want to subject thier kids to it. I been thinking of introducing my son to some other shooting venues but I fear the personalities will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
