I of course realize the organizational purpose here is for CC, which equals handguns.
However, what’s the odds of a board for rifles? Maybe a board for AR’s, 1 for traditional?
I had to ask cause I’d bet my fav 1911 theres plenty of folks here who would use a rifles forum just like I would…
I could get behind a long gun category “All things 16” and longer" as for a 1911 category I’d get behind that too but then you would need a Sig category and a Glock basement and , and, and …
I never search by category, usually new or latest so it wouldn’t matter to me.
But I fully expect the long gun topic names would catch my interest and I would be taking part.
I’d go to the local make up counter @ Macy’s and ask to match the skin tone of your waist. LOL, go to Sherwin Williams and DIY a “custom cerakote finish…” LOL
I’ve been out with friends shooting smoothbore and rifled muzzle loaders. There’s something very special about that kind of shooting. Everything from sharpening your flints, measuring your powder, packing your bullet… definitely not a rapid fire sport, but as a shooter you’re very involved in every aspect of hitting your target. Everyone ought to try it at least once. I just wish the good reproductions weren’t so expensive.
@Ouade5 I agree before my best bud shipped out to the left coast we spent one of our more memorable days (and there have been more than a few of those) we spent an entire day shooting black powder, just shooting the breeze, reminiscing and enjoying the company while banging steel with big hunks of flying lead. Something very personal and yet can be very social at the same time. I am told bird hunting is similar.
@Dawn No ma’am, I actually thank you, oh great one
As for participating as thing, I checked the once per week on both. What I meant was, I’ll never shut up about either. We can go from Mauser action bolts to latest AR’S, and RIA’s to top notch Colts, Wilson-Combat, watever !
I don’t know much about black powder guns, but there was something special about sitting in a Jon boat with my dad feezing cold in the rain calling in ducks. It’s unfortunate that not everyone gets the chance to experience something like that. A couple of my friends don’t have much experience with firearms and never had anyone to teach them about them…I try to include them as much as I can when I take trips to the range. I believe that a lot of fear when it comes to firearms is lack of knowledge, and if I can combat this, maybe my town will one day be a better place.
