    Hi
    I have just joined your association so am new to all of your ways and practises, I tend to spell words differently and sometimes use them differently to you because I live over the pond in Great Britain. I started shooting way back in 1965 with a combined cadet force at school in Chesterfield, my home town, found out about girls so stopped shooting for a while:innocent0, I started again in 1981 using a pals Dan Wesson .357. That gave way to different styles in shooting, trying other disciplines 'til I settled onto Long Range pistol, I used a Smith & Wesson model 27 with a 3 5/8" barrel and a Ruger Blackhawk 357 with a heavy Walther barrel and Williams Foolproof rear sight. I ended up with 14 pistols from a walther 32 to a 1911 Colt. Then everything changed here and pistols were banned so have now. .22 Marlin, .22Ruger 1022 pistol, a .357 Competitor pistol, and a Remington SPS 308, so the itch is still there but the competition is slowly fading over here.
    Well that's me nice to meet you all

    It's refreshing to see folks from your part of the world who ain't radical liberals. :thumbsup:
