    DarkGreen from Toronto (but I'm really a nice guy!)

    Hi, everybody. Just realized that I've started to post after lurking for a while, and decided I may as well tell you a bit about myself.

    I'm relatively new to shooting, and although I had some experience before, it was a decade and a half ago, and I'm into the pasttime with a lot more drive this time.

    So, I've been shooting for a bit over a year, and I put about 100-200 rounds downrange a week at Sharon, every Saturday. If you come to the practical rifle or shotgun matches, you'll have seen me. I'm the one with the guitar cases.

    I've got my Black Badge, although I've had to hold back on pistol shooting for a little bit because the finances are catching up with me, so I've only shot one IPSC and one IDPA match each so far.

    Although I'm an avid outdoorsman, I'm not a hunter (yet). I'm not interested in it as a sport, but it's definitely on my list of things to take up eventually. I live and work downtown, but plan to buy a plot of land outside of the city, so I see hunting and trapping as valuable skills to learn.

    I love canoes and camping more than the portaging and hiking that gets me there, but I'd gladly put in my time to get that perfect secluded spot.

    Anything more you want to know, just ask!

    Cheers,
    DarkGreen

    Thanks. I think it sums things up quite nicely. I kept saying it, when people would ask me "Would you get this?" ... the answer was "Of course... but I want this and this first..."

    Any of you regular Saturday folks at Sharon Gun Club? I haven't been able to make it down for a bit during the last month, but I'll be there regularly from now on as long as I'm not tied up or camping.

    Thanks for the welcome, everybody. I've got to say, this is one of the best places I've seen online for the expensive and addictive pastime we've all got.

    wow... 4K+ posts... where do you find the time to shoot?

    I'm going to have to claim ignorance to that last abbreviation, TtCOTU?

    From the context, it's to do with the smelly urban jungle that I'd eventually like to have land far away from, but I'm curious as to the actual phrase.

    Cheers,

    Guess us foolios not from out west don't know the quirks and acronyms applied to Ontario's capital and worst run city.
