I fit more than just 2 categories.

I am an enthusiastic accumulator. I shoot several times a month and have more guns than I can effectively shoot. Fortunately, my son is more than willing to pick up the slack.

I'm a die hard collector/shooter/accumulator. If I can't shoot it I will not collect it. I'm addicted beyond reason.

Hunted for over fifty years. Competed off and on. First PPC then various local mixed club matches for 10 years. Accumulated and traded for last 58 years. Bought one box of wadcutters for my first 357 at 16 years old. Realized I needed to handload. Now, its 8 presses, 50 molds and 30 calibers later. Became stifled the last few years by circumstance and family health. Working to get back to the club for more practice and a little competition.

Picked "hater - don't like em, never will" You guys believe that, right? Who knew Axe was a comedian, too? Nice, Axe. Very well done.

Picking just two categories is pretty tough. Have competed since our college small bore days and found practical pistol in the '70s. Pack a gun almost daily and shoot often as we have our own ranges on our property. Have also done a bit of training work and some writing over the years. let's say our background and firearms interests and activities have been varied or diverse.

I may be able to speak for everyone here, (tongue-in-cheek mode activated), when I say, I own as many firearms as I possibly can, to keep them away from dangerous felon types, off the streets, and lastly, to protect the children. As a public service, so to speak. A go fund me to set up ? LOL.

So we have mostly enthusiastic accumulators. I was surprised with zero pure collectors; interpreting to mean, we are shooters, or don't have the cash to play at that table. Of course, the Fanatics were seen in healthy numbers. We are on SingleActions. Hunters are well represented. Several of the lucky ones among us have backyard ranges. No one mentioned indoor ranges. I feel ashamed every time I walk into one, but it still happens. We have one Troll and 2 Haters. Many thanks for seeing the humor in the list. Every club needs comedians .

I fit more than two categories also, but the OP said two. I could have picked the hunter or plinker. I don’t shoot nearly as much as I did ten years ago, but I did shoot with my great grandson and great granddaughter just this morning. She shot pistols and he shot pistols and my AK. He had a big grin after shooting the AK, I think he likes it ! When he’s old enough, it will be his.

At 80 most of those categories don't apply but either hobbyist or accumulator or both apply to me. I would have liked to check collector but don't have the "serious cash".

I'm like a lot of others, an enthusiast/accumulator but I have spent some serious money at times to get specific guns for my collection of double action Rugers.

I own way to many guns that haven't even been shot yet. Yet I continue to buy, but at a reduced rate.
