Good Evening

[Hobie1]

Hi.

I'm grumpy, opinionated, married way long time(32+ years or 224 years dog time)and have no sense of humor.

Thanks for letting me participate in your forum. I WILL make mistakes, but I have a shallow learning curve so be patient.

I'm not a newbie per say but I've had almost a decade of absense from the sport. However, I shot NRA bullseye for a few years and belong to a CMP affiliated club.

I have a Les Baer Premier II long slide, a Clark Ruger MKII, and a S&W mdl. 41 for serious target work. I recently aquired the S&W 15-22 MOE and 15-22P guns and my wife and I love those aammo eating bastages.

I reload all my calibers(except 22lr of course) using a Dillon 550b or a Lyman single stage press for my rifle loads.

So, I look forward to learning even more about this nasty sport.

Regards,

Hobie1

Greetings from Northwest Georgia! I love my Baers and reloading too!

 

[Hobie1]

Thanks again.

I think Les Baer has it pretty much together with what little bit of experience I've enjoyed. I have his excellent Premier II long slide and shot bullseye with it. Poor gun, I let it down more than once :-0

I had the wad-cutter match pistol and it was dead on. Wish I still had it but things happen.

Reloading is a nice way to sit back(sorta)and relax for me. Get in a pace, drink lots of whiskey and load a couple of hundred acp for the next trip.

Regards,

Hobie....really...the whiskey thing was a joke

I ain't smart enough to have any real opinions, but I would say that being married for 32 years says a lot for a persons character. I'll be married 32 years in May. Best years of my life. Welcome to the forum from the Ozark hills of Missouri.
Peace,

and to a red-head..

Thank you sir.

My lovely child-bride takes her Mdl. 41 out and when I put up a silouhettt oh you know what I mean she shoots the crotch out of it.Sounds like a machine gun goin' off

Needless to say, I get a little shakey......I'm just sayin'

Hobie1, you sound like a great guy...most of the guys I know (including me) have similar characteristics. I look forward to bumping into you throughout the forum threads. B
