As a new shooter I have found this board to be a wealth of useful information. Its great that so many experienced people here are willing to take the time and effort to help others. Hopefully one day I will get to play that forward.

 

 

One of the members, 67gtonut, was nice enough to offer some great advice and offered to help me out at the range. I met with him this morning and got some great pointers that will help me out greatly in becoming a better shooter.

As we all here know, gun owners are happy and helpful people.

Did he try to talk you into buying a Smith? I bet he did. Tell him you love Rugers and Taurus guns! jk

 

Troy is good people, I love him.

No he did not, but he did tell me about its features when I asked about it.

Indeed, good group here. I have gained an immense amount of knowledge in the nearly two years that I have spent perusing this board.

That's very cool!

Welcome to the forum!

Good deal...Welcome!

welcome to the forum

Just another example of people helping people - shooters are good people

Howard did great......

 

Great expression when he put 3 consecutive shots thru the same hole.....

 

I had a great time...

Welcome, I'm rather new around here myself and I learned quickly that this place and its members are invaluable. The wealth of knowledge around here is incalculable.

It's rare you have a bad experience with other shooters. And most will give you pointers and tips just for a simple "thanks"

Troy, you are a great teacher, but you do exaggerate just a bit. I saw a lot of improvement, but it was still far from great. But I think based on some of the things you showed me that I am on the path to becoming much better. It sure was neat placing those three shots like that - I guess I now have a goal that I know I can do if I just pay more attention to each shot.

 

I am really enjoying this new "hobby" but I think its even more expensive than my photography hobby where I buy the newest and best Nikon Cameras and lenses. At least since photography went digital there are no more consumables to have to buy as you practice. I am shocked at the price of ammunition. Maybe we could all get together on the board and buy a case of say 100,000 rounds at close to cost.

100,000? For this forum you'd have to be around 1mil+. Welcome to the site!

In that case, riddle me this: Nikon is to Canon as Glock is to "_____________" ?

trick question. Nothing is like a glock. This is like asking who would win in a fight? Mike ditka or god?

That's from a Canon / Sig Sauer guy :-)

Wow I was really liking this place, but I may have to reevaluate that if it is loaded with Canon people

I just got a high capacity memory card for my photo shoot........

Good thing you got one before they are outlawed
