Hello Fellow Gun Lovers!

Postby CaseyK on Fri Oct 08, 2010 8:12 pm

Howdy all, My name is Casey and I too am an ammoholic. I learned of this site through the IPSC Shooting at the Burnsville Pistol range, loads of fun if you haven't checked it out. I am excited to check out some of the outdoor IPSC matches, unfortunately it sounds like they are wrapping up for the year. I really love guns, and would love to know more about them. I do reload my .41 magnum ammo, so far thats all I've gotten into- I was passed down the equipment from my father, I think I know what I am doing, lol. I mainly shoot a DPMS A-15, an FNP-40, and a .41 magnum Smith & Wesson model 57- I do have a bunch of other guns though- some I have never even shot ( passed down from Dad ). I would love most to find a place where I can practice IPSC style shooting, last night I shot the hostage- feeling a little guilty even though it barely grazed the arm. Sure can't wait till the 21st for another match, although I really want to make it the the outdoor match in Hutchinson next saturday the 16th.... probably gonna get stuck going to my daughters soccer game instead :cry: I'm trying to get her into guns but she's only 8. She loves plinking cans with a Red Ryder bb gun, gotta wait a year to put her on a .22 at the pistol range though. I am also interested in obtaining a firearm safety certification, I took it with Boy Scouts but apparently some paper work wasn't filed or something. Anyone know a good place to take it? I'd love to go deer hunting this year and I have an invite to a hunting party, but need a certificate for a licence. Glad to be a part of the club here, hope to learn alot. Thanks everybody!

Welcome. You have come to the right place. There are all kinds of instructors on this forum. If there is any way you can get that certificate by deer hunting, someone here can help you. Grouse hunting is going to keep me away from the steel shoot in Hutch this weekend but I hope to meet you at one next year. :D
