You’re shooting your favorite gun at your local range. It’s a fantastic day and you found some boxes of ammunition in the couch pillows last night so it’s like this is all free. But it all feels… hollow. It’s not boring — not yet — but it’s not as much fun as it was in bygone days.
If you’ve been shooting for a long time, you’ve likely experienced this feeling. At this point, I see a lot of gun owners start shopping for a new firearm to give the hobby a shot in the arm. This gun will end up just like the others in time, though, and you’re back to square one. How do you break this cycle?
I recommend competitive shooting.
Be forewarned
To get it out of the way, let’s start by addressing common complaints or downsides of competitive shooting:
“I can’t find a place to shoot!”

This is the most common and valid case against organized shooting. Unfortunately there might not be a range with facilities and range
