Hello all!

Just ran thru your introduction section and found it to be impressive in the scope of information you're offering to the "noobs" such as myself.

I'm new to the site, but grew up shooting with my pops and always told myself that when I grew up, I would be an avid shooter and responsible gun owner. Well, the day is soon come, as I've been informed by our illustrius (sp?) gov't that my Restricted PAL is on the way. After much prodding and 2 months of waiting, but who's complaining? Just want to exercise my rights and do what comes naturally; Hunt, Shoot, Collect and enjoy. That's it.

I'm nearly 30 and probably haven't fired any iron in 12 years, so I'm going to have a ton of practical questions. I've had a keen interest in firearms my whole life and maintained a subscription to Guns & Ammo as a youngn'. I'm starting my own family now and firearms are going to be a part of my family as they were when I was young.

So, you'll be seeing me on here being a giant gun nerd whenever I can. I'm here to network, build positivity within the community, pick up information and most importantly - learn how to operate some of the finest firearms we are allowed to own!

Prospective 1st buys:

CZ 75B (Stainless with rubber grips)
Stag Arms AR-15 2T (Right handed)


Glad to be on board!!
 
I love this forum - and welcome you aboard. The used equipment exchange here is really handy, have found some real gems. Lots of knowledgeable and enjoyable people here.

Like you - I was a shooter since age 5... in my 20's and 30's I would only shoot occasionally... and recently I decided to get my PAL/RPAL and to buy some guns.

I have 4 goals in the next 12 months

1) Work on tactical rifle skills
2) Get black badge / training in IPSC
3) Shoot a moose
4) Shoot a deer

My brother and dad go deer and moose hunting every fall and I have not gone since the mid 90s. I always get meat from them, but its just not the same. My dad is 67 and still has the fitness level of someone in their 20's but I want to enjoy the time we have together... life is short, play hard.

Hi there Hokus and Savaged. Welcome aboard. Be warned, if you have any spare cash you are likely to spend here on something. I am also in GP and we get together for a beer every once in a while. Here is a link to the thread. Maybe we will see you there.
