Hey there. Todd up in Big Lake (and the dang lake ain't that big!). I first started shooting about 15 years ago with a work buddy, had a King Cobra 357, and a 250 savage. Had to step away from shooting for a while, until last year when I inherited my dad's 12 gauge Remington Wingmaster era 1960 (and not the express-dad didn't buy cheap!). Took the wife to go shooting with it, she had no interest in touching the gun. Rented a Beretta 92 and she loved it from the first shot. Ended up selling (shuddering severely) the 357 and 250 to that work buddy so he had a matched set of 357's, and bought the wife a Beretta 92. I do get to shoot it, as the wife still hasn't figured out how to clean the thing, and will be shooting league for the first time next week. This summer, hope to get some time in with the 12 as well skeet or trap shooting, would like to try pheasant or duck hunting as well. Tax time, I get to buy my "first" gun, will either be a Sig P226, a Glock, or a SW M&P. Oh yeah, better get more descriptive, lets see, I'm 5'8, Abdomen scar, 2 small chest scars, blue eyes, devastatingly handsome.........at least, that's what it says on the permit to purchase card.
Look forward to seeing some of you on the range!

1911 Fan quote in memoirium about carrying:
The purpose of a firearm in a defensive situation is to make the other guy leak from holes he was not born with. Your job is to install those orifices for him.

Welcome It's nice to see another member from Big Lake.
If you ever want to try some thing other than the 92 I have plenty and am all ways looking for another reason to go shooting.

Thanks all, BTW Gman, where did you hide in my house to take a picture of me getting up in the morning? mmcnx2, that's where I shoot mostly, scary experience at Bill's (only indoor range I could test the shotgun at though). I'll be doing my first league shooting this Wed.
Dragonb8, and mmcnx2, we may have to have a outing.
