| Another old timer ;-)
Hi! Been shooting since I was 8 (50 years ago!) when my father introduced me to his Winchester '06, which I still have. The current armory includes a modified Mk-III Hunter, modified 22/44 Target, New Model Blackhawk 357 (which is missing its rear sight!) and an LCP. Yes, I suppose I'm a Ruger fan ;-)

Welcome from SE Missouri. I have no idea how long ago I got started, but the first Ruger was around 1978. But hey I'm only 54! LOL Lots of great people and information here.

Welcome to the forum from SW Florida. But come on - I just turned 50 this month and guys in their 50s are NOT old!

Welcome to the forum from Phoenix!
This 58 yr old started shooting at the age of 4 with my grandma shooting a .22 rifle down in our garbage pit. We lived out in the country, so we didn't have garbage service. We had a big pit that was covered over with a tractor when needed and a new one dug. I don't ever remember us filling up the one we had. But it made a great shooting range! Skippy peanut butter jars were my favorite! (creamy, not chunky!)  | |
