Hello from West TN

[batninja24601]

Hello all, lifelong Tennessean from the Memphis area here. I have owned guns since I was 16, but never paid much thought to shooting outside of a some friendly fun shoots at family events. I have only recently decided to pick up shooting both as a hobby with my sons and as part of a focus on self defense.

I shoot periodically at Range USA and that is where I have taken most of my training. We're members of MSSA, so I primarily shoot at the range there. Nothing competitive yet; I am still working on my fundamentals.

As for what I shoot, my EDC is a S&W M&P Shield 9. I shoot a lot with my preteen and teen boys, so there is a fair amount of shooting with a beautiful Browning A-Bolt .22 and and old Remington Targetmaster. Just added an M&P 15-22 and a Browning 1911-22 to the mix. I have a few other pistols, but what I'm most excited about is the AR-15 build I am finishing. As soon as my dealer will log the transfer in for the lower I can finish it!

Hello there. I spend 6-7 months of the year in McKenzie. You're good in my book as long as you don't like 40.

I typically get out there 2-3 times a month. We're about 25 minutes south of there, so I don't get there as often as I like.

Presuming you mean I-40, not S&W .40 :-)  Nobody like I-40, particularly in east Shelby county,

No I meant 40 S&W. You know what they say about guys that like it. Something about small hands.
