Greetings from Texas

[Frontloader42]

A friend and member recommended that I join the group and maybe compete in your postal matches as well as contribute to the forums. I hope a Texan can join the group and be of benefit as well as learn also from all the members.

I have been building and shooting MLs since 1980. Competition and some hunting has me burning BP during the year. With hunting season upon us, I must admit I pick up the bow to pursue meat for the freezer.

For 9 months out of the year, our club's monthly and some state matches keeps me going. I have had a good time and a lot of fun with ML. And have enjoyed some success also. With the age of 62 coming upon me this month, I look forward to many more years of shooting. Plus I need to finish one rifle and restock another barrel. Just don't seem to have the time for all I want to do now days.

I will be cruising the forum each day looking for wisdom and knowledge from the members. A person is never to old to learn.

Welcome to the Forum, and happy (early) birthday. Sounds like you've got plenty of experiences to share w/ us. It's always nice to get a new member with many years of BP shooting under his/her belt. I've only been shooting BP for about 6 years, which gives you at least 18 years more experience! Pipe in OFTEN! I too am always willing and eager to learn. I wish you many more happy and successful years of shootin'. :thumbsup:

I hope a Texan can join the group and be of benefit as well as learn also from all the members.

Well, come November I'll be voting for a Texan for the highest office in this land..... :thumbsup:

Welcome to a fellow Texan. I hope you were able to go to Brady and enjoy the rain at the fall shoot.

My shooting buddy and I were not able to make it to Brady. Trying to start up a new deer lease and it has been a lot of work getting the camp up and going.

Once deer season is out of the way, then we can get back to smelling smoke. (We both bowhunt.) We will probably get to Brady for the Frost on the Cactus shoot. Unless something comes up again.

Welcome FL42,
I hate to say how long I been using ML's as others wonder why I know so little! Guess I'm a little slow?

God bless Texas! And their presidential candidate!
