Howdy,
Just wanted to post and say hello before I go read more of the beginner's stuff... Found this forum through a friend from my other hobby, which is motorsports (roadracing & autocross).
I'm Mark, and live in Poland, OH (just south of Youngstown, about an hour north west of Pittsburgh, PA). I'm getting back into shooting after a long absence. I grew up in Maine with rifles / shotguns and stopped doing much of anything with them after I went to college. I'm not sure why the bug is biting me again, but I'm interested in getting into target shooting with pistols, and am a rank newbie.
Hoping to learn from the rest of you here and perhaps meet some folks in the Youngstown area. I've been out to the local-ish public range (American Shooter in North Jackson) once so far and it mostly served to confirm that I don't know a darn thing about how to shoot a pistol accurately. :-) Next on my list is to visit the local Lowellville Rod & Gun club and probably join up, plus borrow my dad's Ruger Mark II to get my feet wet, and buy some type of gun safe to keep it and a couple shotguns/rifles in (and my four year old out!).
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, so.... Hi! :-)
Mark
