Hello fellow shooters!!! New to the Forum.. stop by and say Hi!

[timthetoolman]

I haven't joined a forum in a long time, but I frequent them for info on reloading and other firearm info. I have stumbled in here a few too many times not to just join and share my knowledge too. Especially considering where I live.

Hi my name is Tim...and I am a avid (addicted) shooter. Circle of addicts chants "Hi Tim". I've been enjoying the sport since I can remember, and shoot approx 500-1000 rounds a week. I frequent the indoor and outdoor ranges in my area, often testing reloads in search of one holed glory. I reload for a variety of calibers including 45acp, 44mag, 357, 38, 40, 9, 35 rem, 30-06, 22-250, and 223/556. I also shoot a metric ton of 22lr through various plinkers. I recently picked up a Dillon 550 to compliment my single stage stuff, and can finally reload almost as fast as I burn through ammo.

What else....hmmmmm... I collect Colt revolvers (Snake Series) and recently wrapped up my most wanted list with the purchase of an Anaconda. I have a variety of 10/22 variants I have put together, and with those and my Savage TRR-SR I enjoy shooting clays at 200-300 with my shooting buddy for trigger practice. We have gotten a little bored with 22 and it limitations, so now we are playing with 223 as a plinking round and so far are getting 1/2 MOA out of our handloads at 100 and 200 using surplus powder and a Rem 700 varmint. Fun stuff considering its cheap, accurate, and doesn't recoil like my 06.

I'd like to add a Kel Tec Sub2K to my collection for fun if anyone knows of one at a fair price....yes I know, I know, cant find them etc. I'd also like a nice 1911 style 9mm as a practice for my Gold Cup. I've had pretty good luck on Armslist with local enthusiasts so I keep a close eye on it, but so far no luck.

So hello all, glad to be here, and I look forward to making some great local connections!

Tim

PS: Where can I shoot past 300 yards around Middle TN??????

Howdy Tim and Welcome to TGO

As for longer than 300 yards the only place I know of is near Clarksville, Montgomery County Shooting Complex (MCSC) up to 400 yards. Run by the state and open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that's what I have heard. Seems like the extra 100 yards inst worth the drive. I usually shoot at Manchester, live in the Boro. I hear the AFB in Tullahoma goes to 1000 but is only open to the public during competition....which leaves no place to practice. Ugh.....looks like I'm still shopping for land.
