Texadan; We're glad you joined, and even happier to see you posting! I'm gonna presume that if you found us through HB, that you roll yer own too. Which obviously means you gotta have some sort of project or quest goin' on. We're here to throw in our $.02 on 'bout any subject you want to bring up, be it a new gun, find a load for a gun, motorcycles, SWMBO'S, and the merits (or lack thereof) of fine sippin' whiskey. On t'other hand we've also been known to point fingers, cast aspersions, and spit tobacco juice. So please feel free to pull up a seat & have at it.

Yup 900F, Thats how I got here. A great buncha guys
there. Although I'm new at reloadin. REAL new. I got most of my equipment and I been readin everthin I have put my hands on. Aint go no place in the house I can do any of the work so I been gettin my shed out back set up for just that. Its a slow process, tryin to get it all put together so I can get things started. But right now I got nuthin but time. d4570, I wish I did. I'd probly be spendin most of my time there. Sure wud be nice tho. Thanks to y'all for welcomin me in. I appreciate it. I gotta few Bang Sticks, mainly WW2 stuff. Kinda like a collector I guess. But If I cant shoot it I aint gonna own it. Gotta few newer ones to. My biggest inspiration is my 11 year old son. He'll be 12 saturday and we like goin to the range together and makin noise. ------------- Courage is bein scared to Death, But saddlin up anyway. (John Wayne) |

My two , a boy now 38 and a girl now 36 hunt with me, I should say I hunt with them , almost every week, one or the other. I got one granddaughter that is to interested in boys to do much hunting/fishing but my Little one, she is almost 5 now and I are coyote killing buddy's, fish too. Sorry 'bout the ramble what I'm saying is they all where out in the field at around 2 years old and they all hunting/ fishing fools... My boys wife is even more hard core then me!  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Thanks again y'all for the welcomes. I appreciate that. I
really enjoy hearin folks say that their kids are out kickin the dirt with them. Specially when they are young and wanna hang out with Dad or Granddad. I think thats pretty cool. Nowadays they just dont do that no more. Whata shame to. My daughter in 22, married now. NO kids yet. Shes kinda smart. Dont want kids till they get some time alone and figure out herself and her hammerhead husband. I guess I shudnt be so critical with him. BUT, Is there anybody thats really good enuf for Daddys little girl? I'd like to be able to get out a little more with my son, we do what we can. It just dont seem to be enuf. It never does. Thanks again Y'all..... ------------- Courage is bein scared to Death, But saddlin up anyway. (John Wayne) |

Texadan; My son's 35 & my daughter's 28, both shoot though my daughter's time is pretty limited. She's been crankin' out grandbabies, first one and then 19 months later, twins! Not a lot of free time there. But her husband hunts with us & is a good guy. My son's getting into long range, & I'm just happy to shoot something sometime somewhere. Mostly .22 rimfire at a little critter we call a 'gopher', which is actually a small ground squirrel. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |

Welcome Texadad. this has been an interesting and inforative place. Membership has been down so most of use monitor and chat most days.
We need your new stories. Nice to see you. A 12 year old...that is great. Probably the best years for fathers and sons. I've got a 37 and a 34 year old...love them both; but they aren't as much fun as when they were when they were 12. |

Be glad he's young. Mine went with me yesterday and has expensive tastes. He has a liking to Weatherby's with a beer budget. Sadly enough, it is not much more then a case of .22lr these days.
