Happy Firearm Birthday to me!!! (One year old!)

Post by conradin »

Today marked the first year anniversary of me ever touching and firing a firearm. I made it through the first 365 days without making a fool of myself (well, Rover always make a fool of me), and I did not shoot myself in the foot yet. I officially have ONE year of experience.

It sounds like no big deal, but I am in my early 40s...I would have never imagined that I would be doing PTOs this late in my life and got to shoot with nationally ranked shooters...oh well, better start late than never get started.

Now onward to my second rookie year.

TT is a big part of my life, yes, a lot of my posts are jokes, but I really learned a lot from you guys, I am thankful to Scott for creating this forum and all those who have helped me. Indeed I also ended up helping others.

One year ago all I was thinking was to to learn how to handle a firearm in case there is a home invasion (I live in a poor neighborhood), and after getting my car shot at, I decided enough was enough. Never did I imagine I ended up as an Olympic style shooter. The first person I must thank is bummer7, he got me started.
