Hi all, I am a certified gun nut and love to shoot short ones, long ones, anything that goes boom
I can out shoot the ex, but he still brags that he 'taught me all he knows' LOL
I turned 51 this year
and have been recovering from a back injury the past 2 years ... do NOT want surgery, so chiro says probably another year of taking it easy, building up the muscles again, then I can start RUNNING & GUNNING again! The bad thing about getting older is that it takes so much longer to heal from injuries!
I still get in range time at the outdoor range at least once a month ~ 20-40mph winds on any given day LOL
I have small paws, so I am more comfortable with smaller 1911 frames, but can shoot full size no prob. I also enjoy my replica Navy Colt and have the cutest little birdhead .22 revolver!
I also have a GAS (gun acquisition syndrome) for mil-spec ... M1, M1A1 (3 and one is a Rock Ola! with import stamps), AR15 (DPMS), SKS. The last 2 are EVBs
And, then there is my lever-action ... oooooh, I got the Puma (won it!) and said Marlin-who and promptly traded that one off LOL And I got one of the last true LA Winchesters.
Shottys are Beretta, Benelli, and the tactical H&R ... still need a breakover for the CAS.
From granddad I got 2 Remingtons NIB 700s in .308 and .264 Mag, and a pair of pump Winchester .22s from 1930s.
I also have several other .22 rifles that are great for teaching kids.
Right now, we are sticking with the following calibers: .22, 9mm, .30 carbine, .308/7.62x39, .38/.357, .44, .45, and 12ga and 20ga as those are pretty common JICSHTF calibers
I take all calibers to the range and practice at the max distance for each piece. I figure if I am accurate at the max, I can hit anything closer!
I have taken tactical shooting classes and really liked them, so I am also looking to get started with IDPA next year, too.
