Sarge Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hey everyone. Pretty big year for me as far as shooting. I used to be way deep into trap shooting but went broke trying to keep up with the big boys. Never lost interest in guns since I was career army. Kids are finally leaving and expendable income is on the rise even in these tough times. Screwed up and went to watch a local uspsa match this past summer. Ah Crap, here we go again. October- new M&P Pro (1000 + downrange so far) November- Blade Tech gear December- CR Speed belt, range bag(sorry to offend but I got a midway usa), more magazines, Hi-speed low drag hearing protection And finally tonight called Brian and ordered 550B top notch kit(minus scale, still like RCBS.) Plan to develop loads and reload this winter then join one of the local clubs this spring, (and wait for my gun to get approved),and I guess just friggin go for it! This time I do not plan to conquer the pistol world like I did the trap fields. I am here to have fun, get my butt kicked and get back to my shooting roots. Heaven Help Me! Flexmoney, I know you will eventually read this. I was born and raised near McConnelsville on Burr Oak Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasOPM Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 This time I do not plan to conquer the pistol world like I did the trap fields. I am here to have fun, get my butt kicked and get back to my shooting roots. Good luck on that one. It is a fun sport to be sure and a little cheaper than trap- but not by much. Welcome to the obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say we dated the same cousin, but you got me by 10 yrs. 41mag is right at your age (and my brother's age) and out of Morgan. You were Tremble, then? Don't wait until spring. The guys at Miamisburg play around indoors with USPSA all winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz1911 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Sounds like you're hooked hard, Sandman. I too shot trap for a few years. Nothing wrong with it but for me this sport is much more entertaining. Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p2000lefty Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Welcome, Our paths are similar into this sport. My 550 press is in the mail somewhere. I also won a S&W MP pro in the Wisconsin point series. Our equipment sounds near identical. I was lucky and found some good friends in the sport. I'm sure you will have the same luck as I've met only a hand full of people that I did not like in my rookie year. Keep in touch and we can share reloading info. It is a great sport full of awesome people. Hope to see you at Area 5 this year, -p2000lefty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSeevers Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Cool.I'd say we dated the same cousin, but you got me by 10 yrs. Don't you Ohio guys always date your own cousins Michigan...home of the stripper pole in the sheep barn at the State Fair. Yep those MI guys sure know how to turn on a sheep. To new guy Sounds great except part about planning on getting your butt kicked. Attitude can help or hurt and usually positive helps. Have fun.
