Glad to be here!

Postby Skydivermn on Mon Feb 21, 2011 2:13 pm

Just registered. Glad to find this site for local enthusiasts.

I'm a first generation gun owner and happy to be celebrating my 2nd amendment rights. I'm not a hunter, but am an avid target shooter, though I don't go enough. Nor does there appear to be sufficient places to do anything beyond the 50' indoor range. It's not fun to shoot a rifle (.308, 5.56, 7.62x39) in these conditions. So, who can I befriend in the Twin Cities area who's a member of an outdoor club with a 100+yd range? Any takers? Anyone? I might even buy lunch...

That's about it here, I'm sure we'll chat on the forums.

Keep it in the 10 ring, or just embellish appropriately.
Thanks for your time!

:welcome: If you are looking to hit an outdoor range, including whereabouts in the Metro might help. There are lots of ranges just out of the 694/494 ring, in most every direction.

Yep, I skydive. I've been jumping since Oct, 2001. Since starting a family I've significantly reduced how many times I get out. Just under 500 total jumps now, so yeah, I guess I'm a skydiver. :)

Very nice. I went 4 times out at the Wissota DZ, on a static. A lot of fun! I would encourage anyone to try it at least once :D

Wissota? Mary and Bob! I don't get out there too often, but it's always fun to visit them. It's a 2hr trip just to get there...
I'm glad that you had a chance to get outta the plane. It sucks having to land with it now, doesn't it?

Haha yeah it does. I haven't been in a plane since then. When I jumped it was only the 3rd time in an aircraft of any sort and. It was about 4 years since I was in one before I jumped haha.

Welcome from Savage.
One of our daughters jumped out of a plane and I watched the video.
That's about as close as I'm gonna get.
