Hello to all

[stripe]

I am a new member and just want to say hello. The breath and depth of information and topics here are truly hard for me to get my brain around and find a place to start. I am in my early 70's and have been shooting and hunting almost constantly since my early teens. With that said, I have a lot yet to learn. I am particularly interested in traditional muzzle loading and accurate riles of any caliber. I also like handguns and any sport that involves breaking clay targets that fly through the air or bounce on the ground. In the interest of full disclosure I also am a fan of traditional archery. Thanks and Merry Christmas and a very happy and blessed new year to all.

Welcome aboard from the far west. You will find many like minded and very helpful people here. In many ways when you check in here it is like stopping by for a visit with an old friend.

Welcome Stripe, you have landed in a gold mine. I used to think I had half of a clue as to what I was doing/thinking, and then I started having a bunch of those "deer in the headlights" and "palm to forehead" moments. Lot's of great stuff and even greater folks be found here. And some seriously top notch moderators!!!
