CG:
Yours was an excellent post. I didn't find your responses to replies out of the bounds of decorum. In fact, it got me to thinking about my own biases a bit, and consider the needs of other folks.
Because fly casting is easy for me and something that I am good at, I assume that anyone else who wanted to be as good at it as I am could do so if they were willing to take the time and effort to do so.
I tend to think of springer shooting in the same way.
Where my thinking falls apart (or did) is in associating "willing" with "able." There's a differnce between those words. Because I am self-employed in a lifestyle occupation as an outdoors writer / lecturer, I have the luxury of working around my hobbies. Living in the here and now, I forget what it was like when I wasn't so blessed.
Thank you, Sir, for humbling me by reminding me that willingness alone isn't enough, and that ability to make time is something that most folks less fortunate than I am have a tough time doing.
Again, I thought yours was a fine post. I anxiously await more of the same.
