Greetings

I am a 62 year old hunter who has loved guns & shooting for as long as I can remember. I have been an NRA member since 1965 and I still learn something new about guns, shooting, or hunting nearly every day.
I never thought I would say it but I'm just not that fired up about horns anymore although I still love to spend as much time as I can in the woods.
I love to hunt in other states and hear other hunters stories.
I grew up admiring Jack O'connor, Bill Jordan, and Elmer Keith and they all taught me a lot. I love to read books by those gentlemen as well as Hemingway, Ruark, Capstick, and others.
I am looking forward to learning a lot around here and hearing some more good hunting stories.

Hi, this is my first post. I am hoping these forums will help me get better acquainted with my new colt AR. They have been helpful so far just reading other posts so I think I will be happy here. :)

Hello!

Hello there,
I am a 31 year old lover of firearms. I live in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We're still hearing some elk bugles in some areas. The fall colors are fading and the big snow should be here soon!

I have a variety of firearms. I am really getting interested in the guns of the old west. I'm looking to get a colt clone soon. I really like the uberti 1873 el patron. If I can get it in 357 it'd be great!

Well, I'm glad to meet you folks and look forward to gaining (& contributing) some knowledge here.

New from WV

Hello, my name is Adam (Alrekr is actually my middle name) and I retired from the Marine Corp in 2000. My fascination with firearms started at a very young age as I grew up in a military family. I own some military rifles and pistols but mainly buy guns that interest me for whatever reason. My main woods rifle is an old Swedish mauser. Good information is always harder to find then a good gun, and that's why I'm here. Thanks for having me.
 
I became a member a few months ago. Retired parole officer. Been a shooting enthusiast for 30 years. Hunt groundhogs and coyotes, but not in the last two years. NRA member, belong to an indoor/outdoor range, CCW permit holder. Mostly carry a beautiful S&W Mod 60 j-frame, with an Uncle Mikes rubber grip during the spring, summer & fall. Will occasionally carry a Springfield Armory XD-45 when I go out at night (which is seldom) and during the Winter months. My best friends are all shooters.
 
Dr BigBird PhD - Real name is Harrison. 22 years old, born and raised in God's country, currently living the commie's country. Work at a small TV studio for the time being. Have only fired bolt actions until recently (hunting with the father/uncle), and just bought my first stripped lower. Noveske N4 Gen II. It'll be in my palms in a month or so, then I'm moving forward with my first build.

New to the forums

I recently discoved this forum and found it had some good information that helped me in making a decision on purchasing a new handgun. Bought a Ruger GP100 recently and love it. The wife also bought her first, a Glock 19 Gen 4 9mm. There are alot of people here more experienced than I with guns so I look forward to learning a few things from your experiences.
