Hi all, I'm not new but, because the forum refuses to let me fix my e-mail I have to join again. I first joined back on April 10 2012 and am glad to be back. I was a supporting member and may be again when my year is up.

The county shooting range here has a gong and a sheep on the back berm of the 50 yard pistol range. Every time I shoot there I regularly ring those gongs..36, .44 and unmentionables alike.
