Cost is a big thing...seems like the whole Ukraine thing, gunbroker etc really drove up the price of guns that used to be cheap...it's no longer a poor man's sport and seems to suffer from gentrification. 3. for me personally, it's more of a matter of opportunity as much as anything else.... i really have to go out of my way to go shooting... Ranges are fun, but they're of limited value..i'd rather go to an outdoor range and shoot in a 3d environment without having to pay fees, being limited on what type of ammo i can use or how i can shoot...indoor ranges are not ideal... You'd think living in Oklahoma, outdoor ranges would be easy to come by...but if you live in the city, it's not unusual to have to drive 30 minutes to an hour just to go shooting...and then pay for the privilege. it makes it an event.... kinda gotta plan it out and feel like dragging everything out there.  after working all week, i don't really  have the energy to do all that. kinda leads back into 2.My condolences to you, sir. I wouldn't wish alzheimers on my worst enemy, and the sacrifices you're making to take care of your wife are noble. It's probably the most evil disease.</blockquote>
