Great! Good for you man. I did the same thing twice, the last time being in 2008. The first time I did it was around 1995 but that lasted only until 1999 I think it was.

That last time was for good. I am "wheel free" and loving it more and more everyday.

Wish I could jump off the fence like you!  I've only been shooting trad for 8 months but love it more and more every time I shoot.  Just can't quite bring myself to dump the wheels even though I haven't even looked at the thing in 8 months.  I think once I get my first animal and prove to myself I can really do it I'll have an easier time taking the training wheels off.
