I dialed back participation big time in the last 2 years, for a lot of reasons. I started my own business, so work became more exciting. I plateaued in skill, at least for the amount of time I was willing to practice, which was always close to zero. I live in Colorado and I realized that I was spending so many weekends in a dirt hole of a shooting range, instead of seeing the beauty I'm surrounded by. I bought a motorcycle and started exploring this past summer. I actually shot half the stages at the State match and realized "I'm not actually enjoying this, and if I left now, I could go on an amazing ride for the rest of the day". So I left. What's funny is, early into dialing back participation, I shot better. I finally made master in Limited. But then the not touching a gun for two months and showing up for a match really started to show, and I dropped in the results. Which made things a little less fun too. The USPSA organizational drama and the dying of Limited major also made shooting a little less interesting.
Oh well. There are seasons in life. I don't want to keep doing things the same way out of habit. I want to fill my time with whatever actually gives me the greatest return on investment. Right now it's other things. But I'll still shoot when I've got a buddy to shoot with or if I get the itch.
