The faces of THR

Alright seriously
I'm the Ugly one.

Well, since we are a nation of riflemen...I guess everyone needs a mug shot with their trusty rifle:

thats all i got!

Just wanderin' through the woods...

That's me - and my favorite M39, the first one I ever bought - $180 gunsmith special from AIM. Hits one liter bottles at 120 yards, standing up (picture taken about 10 minutes after having made that shot)


and my favorite car

Shootin' with my girlfriend (now wife)



The weapon is unloaded and was triple checked by sight and touch. She missed a great chance to make me pay for buying a new rifle that week...

Changed my entry slightly to be more reflective of the thread theme.

A couple of pics from our annual Central Ohio ShootFest.
It's a great mix of folks who like to shoot, including a great
cadre of American patriots who served in 'Nam, GWI and
Afghanistan. Lots of range action during the day, and a
good dose of hard partyin' at night. As good as it gets!

Let me just say, I think it's the coolest thing to see retired folks on these message boards! I honestly really think that it's awesome. Most retired people I have ever met have some sort of aversion to computers in general, they usually wouldn't even know what a message board is! (No, I am not saying your "old", I am saying your cool! )

I love this thread.

Wesson, those are the whitest jeanshorts I have ever seen.

Me after a boar hunt not to long ago.



245# field dressed. Hit him in vitals with a 7mm rem mag and he still ran 150 yards before expiring.

Too much time out in the sun & salt, I guess.

Here, is this better?

Pretty cool to look thru. Quite a spectrum of persons.

I had just climbed out of the cockpit after the last mission of a very long 2nd tour in central Iraq.

My heartfelt thanks to you for your service, Apachedriver, and to all the other vets, active duty and reserves here on THR.

Me and a Dept. SBR.

Dude, that right there could be
the understatement of the year.

Eh, let us know if you need
a place to park that 'pache.

I mean, that's just gotta be
one hot day at th' range ...

Can't say who I worked for.Still don't know why?

My Side Arm is under my blouse.
