    New to the site

    Just wanting to introduce myself.
    New member to the site from castlegar b.c. Canada.
    Been shooting my whole life. Trap and clays sports since I was 11.
    Just started getting into reloading about 4 years ago. Load for rifle and pistol and getting set up for shotgun.
    Also getting gear and lead together to start casting my own buck and slugs.
    Looking forward to learning from this group and eventualy passing on some of my own knowledge.
    Thanks

    Howdy from Kentucky. Folks here are helpful and patient. I've had my share of dumb questions, and still on the learning curve for some things. I have dreams of moving to Alaska one day. Something about making your own ammo is fascinating, and addicting.

    Hal:

    We've met through PM's so far but I am sure Ginsing and I will be getting together shortly. Probably the kick in the butt I need to get my slugs loaded up and get to the range. I am still in catch up mode from a rough few months but getting back on track now.

    We also have member BCJay in Castlegar too. Handy guy to know I'll say. Did me a big favour when I needed heads for my old Chevy truck a while ago. We've tried to make a shooting date but haven't quite succeeded yet. We will.

    Maybe all three of us will get out shooting one day, schedules and life interferences giving us a half a chance.
