Humble apologies for this late reply. Logged in today after a very long time and saw your beautiful message. I hope, I have not already fallen victim to your fiery definition 'Kill.... kills you'. A humble suggestion after reading your about your problems to continue with shooting, try not to let your passion take a backseat to the challenges life throws.

Happy New Year in advance Doctor Saab

Hey! I saw your reply by chance just now.. I dunno why I didn't see a notification for it. Anyway, your kind words are greatly appreciated .. Thank you so much!!
I'm down but not out.. And I'm very stubborn. I'll return to shooting again as soon as life permits me. This sport has given me so much, that I cannot think of quitting.
A job provides food for the stomach, but a passion is food for the soul.

The "kill time before time kills you" thing means "keep doing stuff before your time is up and you die".
It means don't sit around idly, but rather kill time (timepass) by doing something constructive or learning something new...before your time comes... Coz time kills all of us in the end. Until that day, keep killing time with new interests and hobbies that add value to your life.

Your words have strengthened my resolve. As soon as I can manage it, I'll return to the way of the rifle.

Love and regards, mere dost.

RKBA FTW !!!

BINGO! Your passionate and enthusiastic words are highly motivating and speak volumes about your never-say-die spirit. Too humbled to say anything more. It's delightful to bond with folks over common interests, especially given that our tribe is shrinking.

Regards and BANG away!

Hello @drlizard , hope you are doing good and enjoying your shooting. I had a question.
Does becoming a renowned shooter in air-weapons category( ie. 10m air pistol or air rifle) help you to get an arms license? Or do you need to qualify as a renowned shooter in firearms category?
