Hello everyone.

I have only been shooting for a couple of years now, and have been reloading for almost as long.

I've yet to go hunting, but it has a high priority for me, especially since the first time I had deer meat, I fell in love with it.

I'm never quite sure what to put into these introductory messages, so I'll leave it at that and let people ask me questions or what not.

Welcome, I think you will find this form a good place to get answers to your shooting, hunting and firearms problems. If you have a question, someone here on the form will have the answer, or else point you in the right direction.

Welcome, good to hear new voices interrested in shooting and hunting.

Two aren't as inclusive as it would seem...know some shooters who don't hunt. Most of the people here are both, interrested in shooting and in hunting, so whatever questions you may have, will get experineced answers.

Yup, you can shoot for the pleasure of it, shoot for hunting purposes, or do both. Suppose most of us do the both thing. Don't have any qualms with those that simply do one or the other.

Welcome to the board - always like to see new members join in the discussions.

Welcome Ko :D

Yes, it's a fun getting started. I've got Dad's old set up plus I've been adding on here and there.

As of now I have 3 presses set up and one that I can put up if needed. I also cast my own bullets for 44 mag, 357 mag, 45-70 and 45 and 50 cal muzzle loaders. :cool:

Just spent the last 2 days putting up siding and my guns are feeling neglected but the little Mrs. is tickled :D :D

Hey, if kdub says you're O.K., then you're on your way (just which way we're not sure) :p :p

What kinda ammo you got? I can help you shoot it up. You know it does get stale after awile. :D

Oh yeah, welcome! Just don't badmouth 270 Wimpchesters or some people take it the wrong way. :D :D

Hello, KO,
I'm sure that you will like it here.You can learn a lot just by scrolling through the posts by others looking for help.You will get the same assistance when you post a question.
FYI Hunting and shooting are distinctly different diciplines.Some dedicated meat hunters consider target shooting is a waste of time and money.Alot of target shooters have little or no interest in hunting.
