·Some spend their money and time on fishing or golf. What little discretionary income I have at this point of my life, I spend on travel, good food, and, as often as possible, spending 2-5 days at a time training with some of the best nationally known firearms instructors. This usually requires out of state travel and lately the high price of gasoline and a torn meniscus in a knee are certainly acting as strong disincentives to signing up for more.
When I do show up, there's always a few of my fellow students who are active members of law enforcement or, like myself, retired LEOs. Taking a class with them gives me the opportunity to indulge the fantasy that I can still run and gun with the younger bucks but by the end of one of those 8:00 AM to 10:30 PM days I realize I'm just kidding myself.
I can shoot as tight a group as I ever could, but I'm a whole lot SLOWER now than I used to be in getting those rounds off. Thank goodness that it's still true, "speed is fine but accuracy is final"!
