Heronimo42 9 Posted October 11, 2018 Hi All: New shooter here. Have wanted to take up shooting for a while and my wife finally nudged me enough to do it. Have taken some courses thru my local FFL dealer, certified NRA trainer. Recently purchased and picked up my first handgun- Beretta APX 9mm FDE. Love it! Waiting for 30 days to be up so I can pick up my second, .22 M&P Compact. The .22 will also be the gun that my wife and 10 year old son will shoot, after they both complete their training courses. Shooting for sport and the fun of it. Steve 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel 7,148 Posted October 11, 2018 Welcome to the shooting sports, Steve. We LOVE to see new recruits! And welcome to our motley crew here at NJGF, also! It occasionally gets feisty here (as all Internet sites do on occasion, lol), but stick around and you'll find a TON of knowledgeable people on here who'll be delighted to answer any questions you might have. Have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bennj 215 Posted October 12, 2018 Welcome to the group from a fellow Mercer Countian (if that's even a word). Let's just say there's a very wide range of personalities here, which means there's something for everyone. A lot of info and there's always someone willing to help. Enjoy your stay and safe shooting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were about 45 days from beginning to end, but it would have been shorter if one of my references wasn't out of town. Very fair process Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
