Careful shortwheels, I was in your boots a few days ago. It's come to my attention that a large number of enablers hang out here.

You're warned, Skychief :D

Welcome....

My 375 Winchester BigBore levergun and my 375 Ruger Alaskan bolt action are two of my favorite rifles, and between the two, cover about anything I'd ever need to hunt out to 300 yards.

Welcome. If you want to have fun, you have come to the right place. Sometimes we get together for hunts or just shooting. We have jokes. We pray for each other when asked. We sometimes disagree. It is all good.
