    JTQ:"I think that's your answer. With a division where you only needed one gun you could get in pretty cheap and then get the folks hooked on the competition to where they would be doing everything they could to get into the other divisions." I know quite a few clubs around the country that...

    Nuclear: "Still have the cutesy name thing though." Is Nuclear your real name? :D The only issue I can't address is the attitudes some folks have run into. I'm terribly sorry for your experience. I sure wish I could change what you've seen but, I can't. The best I can do is tell you...
