Hello to the members of the community.

My name is Boyd and I live in the Shenandoah Valley, which is a great place for hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. I’m in my early 70’s and don’t do much hunting anymore because sitting in a tree stand all day and dragging a deer out of the woods is something I physically can’t do any more. I retired and now spend a lot of time at the range punching holes in pieces of paper and have recently taken up long range precision shooting. I’m an avid reloader and get a lot of satisfaction at working up a load and creating a ragged hole in a target at 300 yards, which is the longest range where I’m a member.

I am a life member of the NRA and have had my CCW license for 10 years and carry every day. I just joined USCCA and am very happy to be part of this group especially if the unthinkable occurs.

I’m looking forward to having some great conversations with this community.

Welcome and thanks for introducing yourselves @Hasaf, @Metroman-59, @Brandon1, @natalie, and @Boyd!

Brandon - thank you for your service! You’ll find a bunch of veterans and a ton of like-minded individuals here!

Boyd, we’ve got a thread on How do you start to reload target ammo? if you’d care to share your input!

Hope you all dive in and have great conversations!

Thank you very much. People have to be introduced to arm personal, slowly,
but positively.

Thank you,

Good afternoon. Some people think that being at a certain age, that it time to slow down. We need
people like you with a lot of great experiences and training, to help young people like me. Welcome

I have the utmost respect for our country’s older generations, especially veterans! With age comes wisdom!!! Younger people can learn a lot from older wiser people.

Welcome Boyd. I too am in my early 70’s. I used to go hunting as a kid with my grandpa and uncles when I lived in Illinois. I have my grandpa’s 12 gauge shot gun that he gave me before he passed away. Miss going hunting.

Howdy! I joined the USCCA a few months ago on the advice of a good friend,. I carry pretty much anytime I walk out of the front door. Just found this forum today, so… I try to take a class from a different trainer every year, have been remiss the last couple of years, looking to start doing that again. Looking forward to chatting with you.

Hi everyone! My name is Sue and I’m currently living in OH. I grew up around firearms of all kinds. I’ve been carrying concealed for about 2 years, and shoot weekly at the range . I carry a 9mm Sig Sauer 365, but like to switch it with a 9mm Glock 48 now and then.

Welcome to the Community @SueS! Glad to have you here! So you’re a Glock AND a Sig person? Rare bread! :slight_smile:

@Dawn I’ve caught a bit of flak from my Sig buddies, but my Glocks are fun to shoot! (After I put decent sights on them, that is!)

I’m restraining myself from giving people grief about Glocks, @SueS :laughing: I’ve only shot one and that was a long time ago. I need to revisit them as a brand.

Hope you’re finding a lot of great conversations to jump into, Sue!

Welcome @Boyd and @SueS,

You have found your way to the BEST Firearms and Self-Defense Community on the WEB!

We are very welcoming and we love to share… Information that is. :wink: We have so many Topics to choose from if you are interested in learning something new or just want to communicate with people about… ANYTHING. Conversely, we love to get new information too, so if you know something that you think we haven’t heard before then drop it in a category or if that category does not exist, just make one and put it there. I am sure that someone will stumble over it and find it of interest.

So find a Category and Topic and Dive right in.
