Hi Shooters, I appreciate this site and I'm sure I'll learn a lot as I'm starting out with very little knowledge. I spent the first 67 years of my life in a coastal blue state then decided I needed a change so moved to Longview about 4 years ago. Last year my neighbor Jack, got a Cabela Hawkins 50 cal for Christmas and it looked like something I'd like to try so I bought one also. It was so much fun that we both bought Lyman 50 cal Great Plains Rifles over the holidays. I've met some great and very informative and helpful shooters at our local gun range. Now I'll sit back and learn from all of you if you don't mind. :bow:
