Bayou State but not Swamp People
Really glad that I found this forum as it has already helped me quite a bit with answers to my many questions about guns, ammo and reloading, in particular. Introduce myself...well, pretty boring really. Born and raised in South Louisiana, right across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. Went to public school before public school got such a bad reputation. Decided not to go to college even though I had taken the SAT and entrance exam to attend (This was in 1965), a decision I have only started to regret just lately. On my third marriage; have 3 daughters and one son (who works for Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife & Fisheries) and six grandchildren. Been retired since 2002 from BellSouth (AT&T) and spent four years (1967-1971) in the USAF but didn't go out of country. Used to hunt with my Dad when I was young: deer, rabbit, squirrel, dove but never duck. Realized early on that I really didn't care to hunt but really loved to shoot, and still do. Didn't own a pistol until I was in my 60's, so I don't have a lot of time left to get good with one, but I'm giving it my best shot (pun intended). Started reloading about a year and a half ago and find that I like that almost as much as shooting. Just joined an indoor range about 12 miles from my house so hopefully I will be shooting more and (even more hopefully) improving. I'd rather shoot steel than paper but don't get to do it as much as I'd like to. One other thing....my favorite TV show is The Walking Dead and I know all the ways to kill Zombies...but shooting them seems to be the most fun!
