Greetings from Wears Valley

[BeMan]

Tony here. I recently became a member and have enjoyed some of the comments that are shared here. I am a NRA member, hunter, and enjoy shooting sports. I live in Wears Valley (Sevier County) and retired in 2007 from UTMCK after 20 yrs service. I am addicted to gunshows and never met a lever action rifle I didn't like.

As a sideline, I do gun engraving. I attended Trinidad Junior College's Engraving Course in 2008 and have completed several rifle and pistol projects. It will be great to hear from some of you that have some of the same interests and I look forward to getting to know everyone here.

Welcome to TGO. Got any pics of your work that you would like to share?

[BeMan]

Not sure if I know how to add pics here, but I would be glad to email some to interested individuals. Thanks

[peejman]

Welcome! To post pics here you must host them somewhere like photobucket, flikr, smugmug, etc.

Howdy Neighbor, any good places to shoot in Wears Valley ?

Welcome to TGO!

[bayouvol]

Just came through from Pigeon Forge Monday. I live south of Maryville so maybe we could find a place to shoot. Good to have another east tenn. fellow here. Lots of good info comes through here so check often.

welcome

[BeMan]

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Proves there's no place like Tennessee! I wish there were more safe places to shoot in the Valley, but limited for me. I usually go to Sevier Indoor range. However, I would like to have a good 200-300 yd outdoor range close by. Often thought about leasing some property for that purpose. Thanks, again.

Welcome

[Guest Letereat!]

Welcome. Love the Wears Valley area. I do a fair amount of hiking in the smokies. Im guessing UTM is UT Martin, what is CK?

[BeMan]

Univ Tn Med Ctr/Knoxville. I served as a flight paramedic for 20 yrs on Lifestar.

[Guest Letereat!]

Very cool. I used to work at Island home Airport as a lineman and remember when UT was Flying Bell 412s.

[BeMan]

Yeah. We utilized the 412 during the majority of my time there. I might have seen you at some time, as there were times that we refueled there. Small world!
