Sooo... How many of you are like me and single-mindedly focus on a project but when it's all done, you feel great that you've accomplished what you set out to do but also feel deflated because it's all done? 🙄

I've generally always got something on the go with the most recent being the creation of a new shooting bench which came about as a result of a very good thread on the subject on here recently. The bolts to secure top to legs arrived today and with one last bit of 3D printing, I'm at that 'now what' stage because it's finished and it's just right. 🙂

So what to do next? I've no doubt that something will appear on my radar shortly but right now, I've done all of those things I'd set my mind to and I have nothing to do except chill out. 😁

First World Problems eh! 😉

Forming, Norming, Storming, Mourning - the four stages of team/project development, relationships etc. Best thing to do is buy a new project gun and show us all your artistry and ingenuity!
 
I’d like a summerhouse that doubles as a platform to shoot down the garden from in all weather

I’m lucky in that I do have a huge garden with a plinking target range assembled at the bottom, what I didn’t account for is sitting outside in the elements.

I’d love a summerhouse large enough to house a sofa, a purpose built bench rest and even a log burner or form of heating

To go down there would be a dream, swing open the doors and start shooting keeping dry and warmer than sitting in the open then between sessions just sit on the sofa relaxing

It would probably be an ongoing project where it keeps growing and being added too

What happens when a left handed shooter, friend visits? See what I did, gave you your next project.😁
 
Carnt say i get that mate . i just tootle along always seem to be finding something to mess about with . at the moment its my HW77 which has been bog standard for years then a few weeks back there started to be quite a few thread about 77's . So i decided to attack mine and see just how good i could get it . now i haven't shot any of my pcp's for about a month 🤣😂🤣😂
 
Same for me
I enjoy the tuning and setting up of springers, a bit more than shooting them, so always looking out for something I can get stuck into
 
I like messing with springers, but hunt with PCP’s and don’t really use break barrels enough to be any good with them so I seem to be stuck in a cycle of buying them, improving them, getting bored/frustrated and then selling them to fund something else…

I’m slowly getting to grips with my current 95 but it’s not easy. A 99 would be a better prospect but I just don’t like the build quality.
 
Must admit I spend a lot of time fettling and getting a gun just how I want it and then once finished start to lose interest, so end up moving onto a new project, but I have managed to curb that these days, I have a bike project that's taking my time.
