Steelix Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Hi I'm looking at getting back into shooting after long time away. I stopped shooting in 1995 when I got married. I still have my guns and stuff, I know my Para 38 super is old but so I'm I. I see a lot has changed power factor has gone down they don't make the gunpowder I used 540 or the bullets CP 134gr, so i have a lot relearn. Sure glad I still have 300 rounds loaded up and 6 pounds of unopened gunpowder and 1500 bullets to reload. I know I'm going to be asking a lot of questions.

EngineerEli Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Glad to year you're getting back into it. There are still a decent number of options in the area to shoot throughout the year. And of course, you should be able to find the answer to nearly any question by searching though this forum or asking a question of your own!

Steelix Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks for the reply's. And no I did not know about those two clubs, as all I have been finding on Google was up north. The only club I remember from when I shot before was Pine tree pistol club. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
