Theres always a C&B repro of something old sitting on my desk or a bookcase and Ill handle one or two everyday. If I feel like a hike I can walk to BLM land for a shoot; forest trails, all the way. Its just under a mile. I could legally shoot on my home property but keeping on the qt is a great big priority with me and I have pistol and rifle pellet guns to shoot at home, quietly. Im a member of a really excellent local private range thats less than a 30 min drive away so I have that too (8:00 AM to sunset, everyday).
As kids, my boys took to their Dads BP revolvers like drunks to drink and each now have a 51 Navy and a 5.5 Pietta Remington apiece. They CC permit modern world style and are realists but still say those BP pistols are their favorites to shoot. Thats true for me, too. We go to the range or other spots and shoot regularly together. Some of their friends are into BP too. The same guys who, as kids, I introduced to BP firearms. Having been brought up in the way they should go - they have not departed from it and own Colt and Remington repros of their own. Any of that is enough to keep my enthusiasm fuse lit.
I shouldve took up missionaryin to the pirates in Madagascar. I may have been good at it.
