    Some day soon...

    I'll take all the guns I've collected to the range to shoot them!

    I think half of the guns in my safe have not been fired by me, some are new, some are used but new to me. I have plenty of ammo but the lack of time is what is holding me back.

    So I'm wondering if there are others like myself? Bought, traded, modified, or with a new scope waiting to dial in zero at 100, and not taken to the range yet, what's out there waiting to be shot?

    I am the opposite of you. I get a gun in my possession and off to the rane I go. Can't wait to shoot it.

    You may overload on fun when your range day eventually comes.

      I have the same problem, but for me it's mainly an issue with having to drive long distances to shoot steel cased ammo... and not having the time to make a day of it.

        Serious! Then followed by some impulse buying.

              So far I've brought a hand full of new shooters to the sport. One son has been to the range, waiting for number two to be strong enough to hold a .22lr.

                I got a Chimpmonk for my daughter and she could shoot it when she was 4.5 years old. Later I got her a Marlin 60 so I did not have to keep loading mags for the ruger.

                I have a number of firearms I have not shot yet or only shot a couple of rounds thru.

                I cannot take all my firearms to the range as I have only enough cases for about 75 now. With the new law every firearm has to be in a case. The most I can get to shoot in a day is maybe 15-20 anyway.

                  I shoot all my guns, especially when NEW....even collector's pieces that my friends advise me not to shoot because it will diminish the value. I don't plan on selling any...so why not enjoy shooting them? My problem is I wish I can have a day long enough so I can shoot all my guns in one sitting!

                    Its sick but I have almost half a dozen guns that haven't been fired yet. Or at least not by me.

                    Some are odd ball calibers I am still loading. Some are deals I couldn't pass up.

                    Plus I am getting in guns before the 2014 deadline.
