Intro from Texas

[Warhawk]

Howdy, Found this site a few days ago and just signed up tonight.

I'm "from" Kansas, but have lived in many different places, raised in the south, AL, LA, and FL. Living in Texas now, just outside Fort Worth.

I've got pretty varied interests in guns, My favorites are Smith & Wesson revolvers, accurate bolt guns, and all kinds of lever guns. I also love to ride motorcycles, and if you see a black & red Harley pass by, wave, it might be me!

Welcome to the site.

Whats your casting experience? Favorite Beer?

Hope you enjoy this small corner of the www and like what you see enough to invite some friends. :cbpour:

[BigSlick]

Texas ?

Oh well, there goes the neighborhood ;)

All we need now is two more and we'll take the place over :mrgreen:

Welcome to the castboolits site Jim.

Lot's of knowledgeable, patient and good folks here.

I'm over the other end of the metroplex from you. Since you're new here, I will give you the brief rundown of the unofficial rules.

Since you're the new guy, you got to pony up some ww's to stay in good standing with the Members from your area. Three buckets is customary, but any amount over that will only be taken as a good will gesture. I trust you will make the right decision.

After we get your ww's, the next closest Member to your area will approach the brass and give a hearty recommendation on your behalf. If they like the report, most likely, you're in. If not, you get a second chance, just pony up another bucket or two of ww's.

Oh yeah... it looks like I'm the closest Member to your vacinity, so I guess I could come out and pick those up... just to help ya get started and all ;)

Just about anytime is good for me.

Let me know.

Bigslick left out another part of the sites tradition as it relates to Texicans. All Texicans are the pointers! Don'rt know what a pointer is? Hmmm he's the guy who stands down range by the target and points out the holes as they appear.
Might account for the shortage of Texicans here abouts.
Welcome, glad to have ya, some of us were getting tired of walking down range to see the results. Can't see so good any more, but still fun to shoot.

Buckets of WWs as an initiation fee? I must have missed something.......Slick needs to post pics of The Great Torpedo Melt he did recently.

Welcome aboard, sir.

[Bass Ackward]

Texas? Do we still own that? :grin:

Harley rider who likes guns. Hmmmmm.

Welcome Tex, pull up a keyboard.

[44man]

Welcome, you sure are in the right place. Those Texas guys are a little easy on you though, here in the east we don't want your WW's, you have to send us your guns to test to make sure they meet our specs. Could take a while, maybe three or four years and some never do match up and won't be returned until they do. So sit back, have a Corona and relax.
How many gun racks do you have on that Harley? Folding shooting bench?

Welcome to the board. Please be assured the most esteemed members of this august gathering reside in The Lone Star State. You will undoubtedly soon be treated to the opportunity to read the posts by the sagacious Carpetman and the venerable Chargar if you have not already.


And one last caveat; take with a grain of salt anything anything you are told about sheep!

[txbirdman]

Hey Jim,

We might be neighbors. I live out west of Ft. Worth and work in the city. Welcome aboard

[IcerUSA]

Welcome, good to have you here, hope you don't mind being injected with the madness here, it's great stuff :) Kind of like the first time on a Harley when you where a young'in [smilie=w: [smilie=2:

:castmine: :Fire: :drinks:

[Char-Gar]

Greetings and welcome from deep South Texas. Pay no attention to the Texas bashers..they are just jealous cause they can't hang their hats in the Lone Start State. Most of them can't shoot worth beans either!

[wills]

See, Chargar already dropped by to greet you!

[Nueces]

YeeeHaawww, from one TNG (Texas New Guy) to another! :drinks:

You'll like it here.

Charles, you're so far south that ANYONE north of the Red River is a durn yankee to you! sundog

[carpetman]

Never ask if a person is Texan. If they are they are, for sure gonna tell you. If not Texan you just embarass them.

[hornetguy]

actually.... I'm probably closer to you than ol BigSlick... I'm just north of Plano.

You don't have to fork over any WW, though. Not at first.......

Welcome!

Two guys riding a train strike up a conversation. They start talking about how long the journey taking. One of the guys says he is from Texas and it takes all day to go from one end of Texas to the other. The other guy says he is from Rhode Island and their trains are that slow too.

Cheers,

Phil (chuckle, chuckle)

Loved going to TexAnns for a Polish Sausage and a beer when I was at Fort Hood. I still think Fort Hood was a great place.
