Hi from (slightly) Northern Ontario

[AbbeyHill]

Hello to CGN,
After getting my knuckles smacked for not putting up an intro... here it is!

I am a girl.
I am a handgunner recently converted to target rifle shooter, and loving it.
I like long-range best, and can't wait to try a few Match Rifle events next year (10/11/1200 yards).
I am in the middle of designing my own line of dedicated fullbore equipment -- jackets, gloves, and the like -- as the equipment I trained in was the Most Uncomfortable Thing Ever. You'd think people would realize that equipment designed for girls would attract more girls to this sport?...

I have two .308s... for now.

See y'all in the forums!

Just wait....

Now your going to get all the unsolicited pm's asking if your single

Welcome onboard anyways.

Welcome. If only you could convince my wife to shoot...

You need to look harder.How about the NFA? There are also many other smaller groups that work on your behalf as well. EDITED TO ADD: never mind, I just saw your post to Philipo...

Welcome Abbey, always nice to see more women joining us. I hope you can persuade more women to get involved as well. You may want to check out the Women's Forum as well. I can only speculate what get's talked about in there...

I'm always glad to welcome another woman to our fold. Check out the women's forum in group memberships.

SPRTN308, I seem to be collecting an alphabet soup of memberships: ORA, DCRA, NCRRA... oh yeah, and my local range. Sadly, that's enough to keep me busy for a while!

Welcome on board!

Great to have you here!

Cheers

Welcome!
I think girl gear would be useful, I find it difficult to find stuff that fits properly sometimes.

Welcome to CGN. I wouldn't make ###ist or other offside comments to anyone but especially not to a woman who competes in 1200m rifle.

Welcome Abby. Funny how girls get the most welcomes, I noticed some poor guys only got one or two. You gals definately add some weight to our cause.

Thanks jet, it's been great to receive such warm welcome at the range and here online... we'll see if that lasts once I start getting better scores.
