    I love this place !

    Last year I was mentoring a youngster on small game hunting and asked about some 410 hulls so I could load him up some ammo. A member here, who I will not name, answered my plea and sent me a bunch of hulls and also included some wads on his dime. I just got a pm from him asking if I needed anymore. The youngster has moved on to a 20 ga and has found another friend who’s dad is taking care of all ammo. I just thought the fact that this member was still thinking about this and was still offering help was fantastic. I hope he will read this and take a bow . This site and it’s members are head and shoulders above the many others on the web. Again thank you !

    Cool.
    I found your conclusions to be true.

    However; I still have some concerns about a place that would allow me to be a member.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    I have had similar experiences with members giving me things I needed. Truly a generous bunch on this forum!

    Yeah Ray, but no one has ever mentioned the origin of the idea before.

    There's a lot of instances where members just give stuff away to each other rather than going through
    the trouble of selling it on S&S for just a couple of bucks.

    Hope the kid does well, and comes here to hang out himself.
