Shot IPSC and 3 Gun for most of that time too. Found even 12 visits became a chore to fit in round work and life and towards the end was just "going thru the motions" to keep the B.

But that's the thing and the point of it. You're meant to be an active pistol shooter to have your b licence, not just having it so you can have it and feel like going to the range is a burden, you're meant to be excited to go to the range.

I would disagree that over 20 years I was not "active" and after 20 years the novelty of "Shooting Pistols" had worn off. They are just another firearm like everything else. Still have my E though

I would also note that an "excited person" on a pistol range is a person I would prefer to be far away from.

I was slightly pissed off I had to sell my Open Racegun built for me and custom serial numbered but I managed to use the proceeds to buy a 725 shotty brand new 2 New Jiggin rods and my membership to a private sporting clays club so did OK in the end

I'm with you Mikee it's school boy stuff, oh you haven't been to the range so your interest in pistol shooting has waned? I can go months without shooting my rifles , so I should sell them all, what a load of BS it's all about control. If your fit and proper? C licence well that just means you'd have to shoot them illegally? Why?

I completely understand, I'm not saying I agree with it, but I'm reminding you that it IS the law.

Interesting that you think that anyone excited to participate in a sport is someone you'd prefer to be far away from, you sound like a grumpy old man now, no wonder you stopped.
