Thread: To many oldies and to few young people.

Cost is the biggest factor these days with wanting to get into any hobby, I hunt, and would like to branch out into fishing but realistically one hobby is hard enough to fund. I'm lucky I brought most of my hunting gear before kids. Time is another factor, with 3 kids to sort out and a house to maintain plus having a partner to spend time with it doesn't leave much time for other stuff. I recently joined the committee of the wellington NZDA as it keeps me involved with hunting, and being around other hunters even if I can't get out into the bush often. Also gives me 2 nights a month booked out for a just me activity, great for the mental health.
Pistol shooting has always looked attractive to me and I feel that pistols are reasonably priced, as is ammo. Might give it a go one day but probably another 10 years before I have the funds and time
