Being a former paratrooper, I am the more "Point and Shoot" type. And to be honest I was happy to knock down the target at 300 meters qualifying, range wasnt my strong suit but I could knock anything down at 150 meters with ease and efficiency. Now, those days on the range really crushed my passion for shooting and even though i still enjoy i never got into it as much as i did before the Army. I still find my self fascinated by posts and articles. @jackmiller just shared an awesome youtube video comparing m16 and the Steyr AUG and i was captivated by the testing done by the Australian army. I would love to shoot one of those. But I am very similar with you in the fact that I have broad range of interest and i commit to them with passion and curiosity. My newest being the guitar. In a way it has replaced my relationship with the gun as you cant so easily go shooting every weekend here in Germany (though its doable). I love the discipline and theory needed to learn guitar and that my new passion. Its good we live in a world that allows us to pursue our passions (to some extent). Happy Monday!

The F88 Austeyr (the AUG you mention) is a nice rifle. A little odd looking but effective. A decent personal rifle for sure. I've fired a few and really enjoyed it each time. I didn't realise @jackmiller did a post on it, a pitty he didn't use The Pew community to post it. Still, no one really knows about it I guess.
I like shooting, guns, but have so many more things in my life that I am passionate about and interested in...I like being multi-faceted. I can understand how shooting isn't really something you're necessarily passionate about now...I mean you were bangin' away for so long...Time for other things, like carving it up on that axe!
I'm looking forward to some videos when the time is right and you wish to.
Monday deployed well, just making some pasta for dinner right now...Spaghetti with arrabiata sauce. Have a great Monday yourself.
Monday was a success here as well! Trimmed about 150 meters of brush away on the driveway played outside and chilled a little too!! I think it will be a long time before there are any videos online of me playing guitar!!! Lol. Maybe one day maybe you can bust out that bass and we can do a virtual jam 🤣👍🏻
Haha, I think the world isn't ready for my Bass playing either...Maybe more the faces I make when I slap dat bass...
A productive Monday it seems...150 of trimming? Nice work.
