Obstacles that keep you from enjoying shooting

[kidicarus13]

What, if anything, keeps you from enjoying shooting more? Some of the examples I could think of:

1.) Cost of ammunition too high

2.) Unable to find ammo consistently

3.) Not enough places to shoot or places to shoot are not close

4.) Significant other is not supportive of shooting

5.) Not enough free time to shoot

6.) Physical limitations (poor eyesight, shoulder surgery, etc.)

7.) Anything else: ___________________________________

#3 is on top of my list for long guns.

Lack of free time and money.

+1 and I'll add too many idiots at the range when you do go.

5 followed by 1 and 3. Just bought 125 acres and gettin into raising pullets for a large layer operation so I'm hoping that takes care of those problems.

8.) Always having to act as defacto RSO when shooting with a group.

You'd think some of the safety/handling/range protocol would have sunk in by now, but I usually have a better time when shooting by myself. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother trying to shoot when I take some of my extended family to the range. I guess #5 is right up there, also.

#5 with a little bit of #3.

#5 has me.

Something about a 11 month old at home....

3. but hopefully if things work out, I'll have a new place with some land to shoot on
