Hi all..

I just wanted to post an intro for myself. I recently (last January) got back into shooting after a long hiatus and am really enjoying it. I took my PAL and RPAL and now am the owner of three handguns and plan on shooting IPSC and IDPA... I recently passed my black badge course here in Winnipeg and am looking forward to competing. I started shooting way back when in highschool and used to hunt quite a bit... Now i am interested in pistol shooting and find that it is alot harder than it looks... :) But I have practiced with a Ruger Mark III hunter and a S&W Model 41 and finally got it to the point where i can hit the paper all the time... Now i just have to master the 9mm XD.

My interest in Shooting freaks out all my collegues at the university when ever i mention it but i dont care because i have always been a true gunnut. I just love the engineering about firearms. I have owned shotguns and numerous rifles and was really quite good at shooting ground hogs upto 500 yards in northern ontario when i was doing my BSc at the university of Guelph. Was asked to be on the U of Guelph rifle team when i was there but declined because it took much time from my studies. Now i have more time and money i look forward to getting back into shooting, in particular handguns and IPSC style shooting.

If you have any questions please let me know... and good shooting to all and to all a good night...

PS. My girlfriend wants me to mention that now i am prepared for the zombies. LOL..

Hi again... I did my black badge in July... Was a great course... not sure when they are doing the next one... was two days of great shooting... learned lots... i was impressed at how safety was stressed... I am looking forward to going to some matches... I hear there is one in Brandon soon... If you go to the IPSC website you can email the person in charge and they will get back to you... Its well worth it...

Welcome rdgietz; Good to see another Manitoban join us.

When and if you find the time, It's a great place to hunt as well.

The deer in my profile are Manitoba deer. Some of the finest I've ever tasted, and the hardest I've ever worked for....:)

I used to own a Remington 700BDL 243 win varmit rifle that would be great for deer.. but sadly i sold it before gun registration... maybe i should think about getting another 234... That varmit gun was a great shooter and i really miss it..
 
welcome rdgeitz..

good to hear from manitoba & welcome.

you'll be welcoming me back to manitoba pretty soon, as i am heading back to "the old country" to retire.

not far from the duck mountains actually.

i'll have to check out that ipsc aka defensive pistol site ...
i wouldn't mind getting back into it...

i shoot handgun as poorly as i ever did and don't run as fast as i used to.

but what the H.
any day on a gun range is a good day.:D

again ...welcome rd.
