I'm just busting your chops man!:tounge: I fully expected you to raze me over my growing collection, the one that I vowed would never happen.:Bang head: I was proactively defending myself. lol AS for the invitation, it is noted. The closest I've come to your area in recent times is Blackfalds...

So after Santa finished stocking up at one of the many recent Labor Day sales that was happening (getting an early start on the Christmas rush), it seems his sled hit a pot-hole in the clouds and this fell out right onto my door step..........from out of the blue clear sky!!:rolleyes::cool1...

I had the bird for supper last night (just did a simple roast of the whole bird) and I was pleased!.....Very pleased! I am definitely going to be heading out a few more times! I don't know if I'll ever think of store-bought poultry the same way again.

Well, its been nearly a year since I came to update this thread:tounge:. Not a whole lot has happened since then, as this summer was super busy with the fam. Anyhoo, today's entry will highlight two noteworthy happenings: 1. I finally convinced my lovely (scaredy-cat) wife to let me share my...

I remember when I first started lurking around this forum, I had asked for recommendations on that "one gun" that I should buy. Someone (I forget who) had corrected me, saying that the question should be "which gun to buy FIRST". I laughed it off. I wasn't about to become one of those gun nuts...

Entry 4 Man, Its been a busy summer! Me and the family did way more road trips than we planned, not to mention some special projects that work decided to throw my way just because....:Argue: As a result, I wasn't been able to have a rematch with the targets at the range....up until a couple...

I have read a lot of posts about 'squeezing' vs 'pulling' the trigger, and was very cognizant of the need to squeeze. However, I have to admit that the bolded section of your post above was in my mind more often than I'd like while I was shooting. I take that as an indication that I may be...

Yeah - I've accepted that I probably started off with a target that was too far away. I'll chalk that up to youthful exuberance. :-) Round 2...coming up!

@Esnel: I just checked out the rifleman site and the events are either in Ontario or alberta. I am in BC so that might take some doing. You made some good points though and I appreciate each one. I will sit at the feet of the youtube masters in the days to come.

Entry Three - First Range Day Great! I now have everything that I need to start off (based on my humble opinion), so its time to take this thing on the road. A quick 25 minute trip on a nice clear afternoon took me to the local shooting range. Prior to making the trip I had stopped off at the...

I am close to PG so Dawson is a bit of a drive. In any event, let me know how things progress and we'll see how it goes. The invite was top-notch man! I appreciate it.

I bought this one...

Entry Two - Getting set up I decided to get that first rifle, but with a hesitant (yet gracious) wife and a house full of kids, I made a covenant that I was gonna do it right:cool1:. So I went and did the PAL, learned about guns and safety and all that jazz. Next step was to get the house ready...

I am about 5 hrs north of you. Thankfully our range is still open (I was out there for the first time yesterday - that write up is coming)! But yes, If I ever plan a trip that side I will be sure to hit you up and put a face to the name. :-)

DUDE!!! You rock!!!:lol
