A short introduction for me.
I was exposed to shooting from a very young age. I was a boy of 14 in Arkansas, when I first was given a .410 single-shot break-open shotgun that I used for rabbit and squirrel hunting. From there I used many types of shotguns and various “deer rifles.” White-tail deer are plentiful in that area of Arkansas. Over the years I have purchased several guns for everything from home defense to “Hey, this thing is fun to shoot.” I thoroughly enjoy burning through .22 rounds using a pistol. Affordable and fun. Beautiful combination.
Now I do my hunting in the grocery store. I have yet to bite into a piece of buck shot since converting to this style of hunting.
In addition to this I spent 10 years in the U.S. Navy. While serving there I primarily used a .45 pistol, M-14, and a 12-gauge shotgun. However, my primary job was technical. I was on submarines, so we wore many hats due to the small crew size. I believe those are no longer used in the modern Navy.
I wound up in Maryland after the government made me an offer that I could not refuse. Unfortunately working for the government has been everything I expected and more… thank God for bourbon.
Living in Maryland is frustrating for me. This is the first state I have lived in that has cost me the most amount of money in taxes and given me the least amount of freedom in return.
Currently, I visit the indoor range and shoot just for fun. “I like the boom.” I like the people who come to the range. The best days are when my wife and kids come.
