I really like your attitude! Especially, "What else am I supposed to do with the stuff?" I carried a Wayne Goddard elk tip folder for many years, until I decided I wanted a smaller pocket knife.
Fortunately I have friends who can afford really nice stuff. Today I shot a Perugini & Visini single shot .270, two Luciano Bosis O/U a 16 and a 28 ga. (either could have paid off my home mortgage) a T. Bland sidelock 12 ga. (circa 1920?) as well as my own M-12, 16 ga and my Cooper .22 bolt rifle. Also a Ruger #3 in .375-40 (blown out 30-40), a Bolinger custom .338, a M-95 Win. 30 US and a .243 Blazer break-open ss. All shot at clays, paper or steel targets from 50 to 200 yards. Off hand, bench, cross sticks.
A fun day with good friends!
