Hi and happy new year!

Hi everyone! I've been reading up the threads on TFL for a while, and finally decided to take the plunge and sign up.

I'm from possibly one of the worst countries in the world for gun enthusiasts -- the safe but gun-prohibited island of Singapore. Very few people even want to discuss shooting (despite conscription meaning most people do know their rifles).

Outside of the military and police there are no publicly accessible ranges save for a 10-metre air rifle one, and a highly restricted and expensive-to-join gun club whose range has been shuttered for several years. I briefly got a taste of the shooting I love during a US trip in 2015, but unfortunately there wasn't the time or money to really get better.

That said, I'm joining to keep learning, make friends and eventually prep for a longer return trip in the coming years. My interests are in rifles (AR-type and precision) and defensive handgun use.

Meanwhile, let me know if you ever swing by here. It's been too long since I chatted with a fellow firearms enthusiast.

Have a safe and happy new year!
 
Hello!

Howdy. I finally joined a few days ago. I’ve randomly read threads from the forum when doing google searches over the years and figured why not finally get more involved?
On the personal side of things I’ve been shooting for about 14 years - started with 4 position small bore competition in high school and went to the nationals at Camp Perry. I’m interested in a variety of areas from antique arms (not to say I necessarily know that much about them) to competition to just aiming at what’s there with whatever I have on hand. I live in Connecticut with my lovely wife.
On a business related note I got going on a life goal of trying to make money doing what I love so I ‘never have to work’ again. That took the form of making steel targets. I’m a mechanical engineer by degree and love shooting so my goal is to design cool/useful steel targets you’ve never seen the likes of anywhere else. I’ve currently got some good old gongs up on my website and am working on introducing the first really new thing in the next few months.
 
Hi,
Noob here. Just purchased my first gun (M&P 9mm 2.0)... followed by my second (Ruger SR22). Been to the range once so far and have enjoyed it. Looking forward to doing more plinking.
 
New here, but have been shooting since I was a little kid. Taking the plunge into reloading and dipping a toe into precision rifle brought me here. A few years military and LE, now I'm a balding middle aged guy who moves like the guys I made fun of when I was 20.

Paybacks a bitch and her stripper name is Karma. Ugh!
 
Hello all. I am Grant from TN. Been shooting for over 40 years reloading over 30. Spent a lot of years in the shooting industry. With all that I said it has only proved to me how little I know. Looking forward to making some new friends and maybe running up on some old ones.

Hello TFL,
New to forums in general and am more of a recreational shooter who enjoys hunting. I am from Oregon and try to hunt as many types of game as I can throughout the year. Hopefully I can help as much as recieve help on here in the future.
 
Howdy from Colorado

Long time browser figured I might as well sign up as there have been a few threads that I felt I could contribute to over the years of lurking. Mostly a 1911 guy & I have an aversion to plastic. See you in the forums, Schlitz 45
 
Hello, time to introduce myself.

I'm Greg and I have been thinking about joining for some time now. The first online forum I joined was Parallax Bill's Surplus Rifle Forum but traffic there has been dead for some time now. I guess Facebook and the end of the cheap surplus imports really shut things down over there.

I did belong to another firearms discussion forum but so many personal attacks were allowed there I grew tired of the drama and have not been back. Hopefully people are better behaved here or the moderators actually "moderate."

I have been a gun owner since about 1991 and a shooter since about 1980. I enjoy hunting although I haven't been in a while. I enjoy target shooting and competition although I haven't done that in a while also. I carry daily, however.

I am a friendly and helpful guy by nature but I can be very sarcastic. If I offend anyone in any way, drop me a PM and I will apologize and try to smooth things over between us. Good people ought never to argue and everyone should strive to be good.

I am a big fan of Mauser rifles, flintlock muzzleloaders, the Browning Hi Power, the Kahr, and Smith and Wesson revolvers. I own a 1911 but only one. I also enjoy skiing, skydiving (32 solo jumps so far), exercise, woodworking and welding, and working on my 1972 Chevy truck. I am not married but I have a GF...no kids either.
 
Hey TFL from Florida. Currently helping some family go through a collection and this place seemed like a good resource to do some digging.
