It’s never talked about. Curious if it’s happened to you...yet

That’s what I tell myself when I get too serious with any of my toys. Then it’s time to step back and go play with different ones.

I do get burned out if I just shoot off the bench. So I shoot steel off hand then get the pistols out and shoot steel If I keep it mixed up I like it better.

What boscoebrea said!
Sometimes I am in the mood to tinker and tune, sometimes I just like to plink. If it is not fun, I take a step back and do something else - there is nothing like a simple wood bow or a slingshot to help clear the head and relax.
Take care!

burnout? I wish I could get there. through a series of family issues, Covid-19 closures, weather, personal health, etc, I don't think I've fired a shot is a year. Powder burners included. It's not good, but be grateful you've had the time and energy to get there!

At one point in my life I had over 35 airguns!!! Then one day every thing just went NAH.... My reason was I lost my shooting area and I live in the city limits. Most of the rifles I had wasn't backyard friendly. Then 2012 had a mini stroke because of stress and had to quit my full time grocery retail job. Doctor told me I had to walk every day so picked up metal detecting the beaches full-time. Still doing it but now things have changed. Outdoor range has been built, air rifles are backyard friendly now. Best part most are at good prices so have the itch again and definitely be getting back into airguns. The metal detecting will pay for the airguns hobby.

I go with the other hobby theory. It works for me. When I get tired of shooting I put my attension on something else
I have going and in a day or two I am ready to resume my first love ,PCPs. Let me also say another PCP always helps.

BURNOUT.......absolutely.........You just have know your limits and have more than one go-to hobby. I like to keep it simple so I can take a break from shooting PCP air rifles to 22 rimfire silhouette and a easy 200 mile ride on my Harley with old friends.....

OK. Get creative! Make it more than accuracy. I was EOD in the military, so making things blow up has always made me happy. Shout through the flame of a candle taped to an old can of spray paint. Get some of those bottle caps that you can pressurize a bottle full of colored powder with. Empty out some shotgun shells and fill them back up with crushed sparklers or match heads and see if you can hit the primer at 20 yards (Hmmm...I may have to try that myself) Rig up some moving targets.
You know, it was probably dangerous to get me thinking about this.

Augie I am sorry I just read this! In our short affiliation, (you working on my Crown) I feel we became friends. All your guns are 100+ yard shooters. Paint balls? no problem. Light a strike anywhere kitchen match? NP. Aspirin tab glued on edge on a golf tee NP. A drop of honey on target for flies! I love this one!!! Red .25" stationary dots? better have good glass LOL!

Yeah...........that's why I fizzled out with PCPs too. Too much like work.
Too bad people forgot that airguns can be self powered somewhere along the trail of the power crusades. Get a springer dude, and a low power one at that. Pick it up, and shoot. Whenever you want to.
