Hey guys:
My name is Erick. I live in Aurora. Right now, I work at Sprint selling cell phones, but my dream job is law enforcement. I'm putting that on hold for a while...but hopefully sometime in the near future I'll land my dream job. I'm 25, and love shooting and hunting. If you want to play sometime, hit me up! I just added a DPMS AR-15 to my collection! Can't wait to get my hands on it and take it for a test drive! I've loved guns since I was a little kid, but thanks to my family being a bunch of gun haters, I wasn't able to get into it till I was in college. While in college, I started the WIU Sportsman Club, which speicalized in camping, shooting and hunting! It was a blast! Besides my AR, I have an HKUSP .40, which I love, a Ruger Super Redhawk with stainless 7.5" barrel that is so sweet, Browning Buckmark .22, Remington 870 Super Magnum Deer Combo, Savage 110 varmint .223 w/oak stock and stainless fluted bull barrel (so sweet!), Remington 710 .30-06 rifle, and Ruger 10/22 rifle...but always adding to it. Lets go play!!! -Thanks for reading! Erick |

Eileen
46 yrs old NW burbs Just starting business with hubby/massage therapist as well Went hunting when I was 18 using a 16 gauge, was fun. Then bought hubby a 9mm when we were 27 yrs old. We went to the shooting range within 2 hours of him opening his gift with a friend of his. Started shooting at those paper figures and even though I was close around the chest area, I wasn't happy. Hubby started talking about the "sights" I replied "What do you mean sightS?" I was shooting a 357 only looking at the end sight thinking it was the same as the 16 gauge. Once I knew I had to look through both, I had a nice tight pattern in the center. My hubby's friend turned towards him and said "Man, don't EVER piss her off!" Hubby now has an AR-15. I want to try that! Mom of 7, grandmom of 5, will be 6 come June. My wonderful hubby and I have been friends since we were 13 years old. I bowl ALOT. I am usually in tournaments every weekend. |
