Hi I'm Robbie

Postby RobbieRob on Sun Nov 02, 2014 1:30 pm

Was directed here by a friend and thought I'd say hello.

Name's Robbie and I'm an avid enthusiast. I was in the ARNG for 12 years and served in Iraq during the surge back in 06-07. One of my many jobs while in was supply specialist where I also served as the unit armorer, where I developed my love for the M16-M4 rifles. I have built a number of them from scratch and love every one. I also have an affinity for the Mosin Nagant Rifle and have more than a few of those. More into rifles than handguns or shotguns. I also love reloading. Still a bit new to it but it's a very fun hobby. Trying to find time for my hobby is getting harder these days as we just had our first child (a little girl) and our lovely addition is taking up the majority of my free time :)

Interested in group shoots, events, or anything that involves putting rounds down range. Would really like to get into shooting 3 gun sometime in the near future. If there is anything cool in the near future that anyone knows of let me know. I hail from Bloomington BTW.

I'll try to snap some pictures of some of my cooler items soon ;)

R.

Welcome aboard. Coming up in a couple weeks there is a 2-gun shoot at the Minnetonka Game and Fish Club. It will be just rifle and pistol and it's a great way to get started in multi-gun competition. The shooters that hit the MN matches are some of the finest folks you'll ever meet. Also check out the MN3-GunGroup website for information. http://www.mn3gungroup.org/

Welcome!

I also have more than a few Mosin Nagants, one VEPR in 54r and one AR15 I'm quite fond of also.
Where do you shoot?

Welcome dude. Thanks for your service. Don't let having a little one discourage you. I went through the same thing. Now I have 2. After the first, I thought I would never have time to touch my reloader /guns again. You find time, and make it work. Late nights, and nap times are key. ;) My oldest is almost 5. She is getting into helping me now. That is also fun. You'll find a way. :D
It is better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it.
