I never introduced myself. I've been on the board a few weeks and have been busy making friends who love the same things I do... good S&Ws. I actually got into S&Ws and collected quite a few... I just bought what I liked. I worked as a part-time officer on a local dept for 9+ years. I have been involved in historical re-enacting 1740-1840... largely with my horse, Nick. I was heartbroken to lose him a couple of years ago... Nick was 28... We'd been together 24 years. (Longer than I've been married!)

It seems I have Secondary Progressive MS... while I've been busy being sick, my guns have been waiting patiently for me to return & exercise them once again.

Welcome from Texas Russ. Great forum, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.
 
Hey Russ!

I lived in Burrillville for a while and shot at Wallum Lake R&G. Was a member of their Pistol Team in the early 90's and shot the State Circuit.

Wonder if we've ever met?
