And, ya know, the practice actually counts for something if you're not distracted by too many guns. An old friend of mine, once a Vietnam era Marine sniper and more recently the dude in charge of the international police mission to Iraq, was asked, "how do I improve my shooting?" He wisely answered, "Sell all your guns but the most accurate one ... just shoot that."
I think there is a lot of truth in that. Back in the 60's when I had but one centerfire and one rimfire I could shoot them much better than I can any of the multitude I have accumulated over the years, but I was in my later teens and early 20's then, vs 70 now. Now I do have a bit more fun playing with more different types of firearms and calibers now, so yes I do not seek the maximum accuracy loads like I did then, but I am not into competition so nowdays a 2" group is as much fun as a 1/2" back in those days.
