Hi all,

Just a short introduction, as I often prefer to lurk on sites rather than post, but if I have something of value to add, I will definitely speak up.

I currently live in Durham Region, just outside of Toronto. I received my non-restricted and restricted PAL last fall, after taking courses from the York Region Firearms academy in Richmond Hill. If anyone is looking for courses, I would recommend this place wholeheartedly, as Richard and his team really drill things into you, and talk about current issues straight up.

I am planning on taking a trip this fall for some moose (got my calf tag) with some friends that have a camp up north, but am still looking for a rifle.

Hunting aside, I am also interested in some of the pistol sports, such as cowboy, but have never been to an event to see it in action. I believe that improving my marksmanship with a pistol will help in my hunting endeavors.

I've grown up around guns all my life (my father was a police officer and marksman, and he drilled firearms safety into my head) but other than some silhouette courses and small game hunting with a .22, I have relatively little experience. I am looking forward to learning more as I enjoy the sport, and am looking towards this site as helpful information and education.
 
Welcome aboard!! :D
Use the advanced search function to check out the hunting and hunting rifle forums for some good advice.
HAHA (Hamilton Angling and Hunting Association) runs some good SASS events, including one coming up in September. Drop in and check it out. There are other clubs as well. (no experience on my part :redface:)
Good luck with the moose hunt!
 
Have you checked out SASS yet?

No I hadn't, but once I figured out what SASS was :) , I am glad you and ontgunner mentioned it. For some reason, although I get results on the forum search for SASS, none of the posts I looked at in the results explained what it was, nor did the newbie FAQ. So, I'll mention it here, so someone else using the search might find it:

SASS - Single Action Shooting Society www.sassnet.com

I'll be looking at their website as I get more time online.

And Crazy - often the best parts of hunting are the shots you take with your camera - so yes. Pictures to come later this year (hope you can wait).

Thank you all.
