    I’m happy to pay them what I owe them, which is nothing. I’ve done nothing to them, so how could I owe them anything?

    Edited to add: God has blessed me, and I truly enjoy helping other people in need. But try to lay a guilt trip on me because of the color of my skin? Nope, not having it.

    Try to assume that I have what I have because of some privilege? Hmmm, what were these people doing when I was working 12 - 14 hour days at a job I hated for 30 years, and living well below my means so I could save up a nest egg for our golden years?

    If you need help and ask me, I’ll help you. But don’t try to take what I’ve got and justify it by some BS guilt trip.

    My mother picked cotton as a young child. Sack was longer than she was tall. Wore tote sack dresses and went barefoot during the depression.

    So what is the white privilege thing?

    Didn't shoot worth a crap today, not getting near enough range time in and it shows.

    But a nice break and the weather wasn't bad.
    You just need better inspiration.

    Odd, when I take a hiatus from shooting and go back my skills are the same...I think fair to good, but maybe I'm fooling myself though the steel goes ding and the paper targets get shot up with decent grouping...I said, ''decent' not pro-shooter quality.

    For me, to a certain level that is true.

    Skills stay good enough to get the job done.

    But the really tight groupings fade when I am not out regularly.

    Wish I could do as well as you, but sadly that is not the case.

    @baboon I appreciate your dad for what he did. Thank him for me if you can and if not, I thank his spirit as well as you as his son. Similar situation in my family for which I am proud and thankful.

    Can't thank my dad or uncles in person, nor would they want the thanking. They all were proud of what they could do for America!

    I remember as a young kid my dad working nights & graveyards shift. The reason was he did not have a high school diploma. I remember him going back to school for the diplomaHe could have gotten a GED real easy but opted for a diploma. Made damn sure his kid graduated high school to.

    On a side note of government waste after my dad had retired some idiot congress women pissed away hard telling how much to see that guys like my dad got their diplomas 50 years after the fact.
