I know that the reason I don't shoot more is plain and simple time and money, just as stated above. Three younger (8, 10 and 12 years) kids that are all now involved in some kind of sports. Swim meets, gymnastics, baseball/softball. These activities all cost money and there is only so much money in the extracurricular activities fund. Trap shooting could EASILY wipe the entire fund out if I let it. Time is the other issue. I can't be shooting trap while I am at a swim meet, baseball game or gymnastics meet. I think that is why there are so many older shooters in the game. They start off young, take a break at some point and then return when the kiddies are out of the house and down the road. I only shoot registered targets now. No practice at all. That is one way I get at least some targets in every year.
