heck no.

i generally bring at least 3-4 guns with me to the LDWF range in Woodworth. Nothing wrong with public ranges other than the wait.

I have a shotgun I won at a Delta Waterfowl banquet that I have never shot as well as an old double barrel 12 gauge I inherited from my grandfather.

Own but have not shot:
Browning Model 42 .410
Browning BAR 30/06
Browning B-80 12G (2)
Browning Citori 525 12/20G combo
Weatherby .257 Mag
Rock River AR15
Remington Speedmaster .22
Mosin Nagent
A couple of 30/06 Remington 742
Marlin 30/30
Handful of pistols


The ones in bold I received after a family member died and never got around to shooting them. The others I bought just to collect or got a really good deal on.

ETA: This thread pisses me off. I just remembered more that came from the family death thing. I have at least 4 or 5 more that I remember.

I was just given a S&W stainless snub nose .357. It is new and still in the box. I don't know if I want to keep it or trade it for something bigger. Not a huge fan of snub nose revolvers.

I've got an OLD single shot 12 ga. (don't remember the make) that was my great-great grandfather's and my grandfather's Remington model 11 20 ga. that's missing a chunk out of the forearm that I haven't shot. I bought a french made 16 ga. SxS last year from an auction that I decided wasn't worth fixing up, so I got rid of it without shooting it. That's the only gun I've ever paid for and not shot.

I have a few "collectible" guns that have never been shot, and have a couple of CCW handguns that are "backups" (in case current ones are stolen, confiscated , whatever) that I haven't personally fired.

I bought a an H&R .444, was going to get it ready for this year, but lost our lease. So it is just sitting in the gun cabinet. Maybe next year.

CVA 35 Whelen. Just bought it today. Hope to be shooting it next weekend

Longest time frame ever for not shooting a new gun. Guess I am getting too busy

Had a 20 gauge given to me. Took about a year to shoot it. Only shot it a few times so far.

My dad gave me one of his grandfather's 12 guages when I turned 21. I never met him, but I know how much they mean to my dad. Haven't shot it yet, only because I haven't brought it to the gunsmith. I always listen to Granddaddy's gun, and I want to go out and shoot it so bad He was a huge duck hunter back in the early 30s, so I plan to bring it to the gunsmith, and bust a few ducks with it this year. If I kill my first band with it, it will retire again
