Should we call it hobbie or adictive compulsion?... Or Rabbit Hole?

[Emu]

Our own limitations to achieve the perfection using not perfect equipment and depending of wind, make us make continuos efforts (time and money) to try to reach that carrot that make the horse pulling the cart.

No matter how many PCP' rifles we buy, what kind of ammo we use, how expensive they are, what accesories you add, this hobbie is more difficult than golf because the wind factor is absolutely out of our control and it will take the pellet of a perfect executed shot by the best rifle in world to where ever it decides.

Our lack of concious make us pursue what is unreachable by nature. But indeed improve our skills.

I an sure you just made all the players of golf very happy . but controlling the pellet in the wind is the name of the game .

Well at least I don’t throw my guns off into the woods or water like I do with my golf clubs when I fail. At least not yet.

In golf the fault is yours !!!!..... No excuses, no external factors.

 

[hawkeye69]

I call it a hobby.

Yes.

 

[jdanvers]

All three with one addition - "expensive" should be prefixed to each. ;-)

But fun? Absolutely.

Money pit.

I’ve never sliced a pellet before.

Wind does it for you, and hook, and shang, and topping, service is all inclusive.

 

[rcarlisle]

At least it is cheaper than my last compulsion.

I agree, it should be all of the above, including EXPENSIVE. This has got to be the most expensive "hobby" that I have ever participated in.

Obviously you have never tried fast cars, motorcycles, photography, astronomy, horses, and hundreds of other hobbies that I just cant remember at the moment.

Yes, air guns can consume some dollars, especially PCPs, but it's a drop in the bucket when compared to a lot of other hobbies. At least compared to my other hobbies.

When I was young made a lot of pigeon shooting in competitions ... On that time I though it was expensive... Until I talk to people on car rally racings.... That Is indeed EXPENSIVE!!!

 

[Ranchibi]

True true true! I find golf and shooting to be very similar in that both need very repetitive routines to get any consistent outcomes....but with shooting there is no excuse for a miss as the PCP always does it part and golfs misses are more forgiving for the most part! LOL!

 

[BassMan]

Both a hobby and compulsion, like most hobbies. Still not as expensive as my other 2 hobbies--bass fishing and classic Mopar muscle cars!!

 

[OOgsAggie]

I will Echo all the above. However thank goodness it’s not a SUBJECTIVE hobby. Say like High End AV, where you are perpetually chasing the last PERCIEVED 1% till you are (temporarily) satisfied. At least with Golf and Air Gunning you have some frame of reference for perfection.

 

[rc4fun]

Rabbit hole? Buy a high end 'fishing' (?) boat.

I’m thinking owning even a Cessna is worse.
