My First Post... WOOHOO?! > Florida

Hello from a Jacksonville native who just bought his "dream rifle" a couple months ago!

My wife says I have a addiction after seeing the bills for accessories and ammo, but after showing her these boards... she says, "Stay away from those people!" So to me, that means it's finally time to introduce myself to you all!

I just lost my shooting buddy to his gun-hating wife and their newborn baby, so I'm looking for people to go shooting with. I usually go to The Gateway Range and sometimes to Yulee where my wife's family owns lots of vacant land. I'm interested in learning to shoot more "tactical" style, since all I've been allowed at Gateway is boring bench shooting with 1 round every 5 seconds.

I have to..

The FDCC Social Shoot event sounds cool. I've been wanting to go to one of their shoots for awhile now, just hard to get away on Sundays. I checked out the post and googled "Bradford Sportsmans Club" and didn't find out a location. Does anyone have an address so I can mapquest it? If not, would it be possible to carpool or follow someone? I live off N Kernan Blvd. in JAX.

Welcome to the board......keep those bills hidden or better yet, get her shootin' then she'll want more too.

This is a great place. Don't worry, my wife was a bit concerned the first time I went on a shoot with a bunch of "Internet guys" that I had never met face to face before. She kept calling me that first shoot to make sure I wasn't dead in a ditch somewhere.

Now she's a member too (ManBearPig)

Oh BTW, new forum members buy the first round.

"dream rifle" let the infection begin. You do realized that this is not your first your last and your only black rifle you will own right? I'm going to meet up with the guys @ gun gallery on beach around 11 am on sunday and follow them out.

THANKS! The light is a clone from Tapco. It’s cheap, but bright.

You’re right! At the last gun show I bought a stripped lower from Spike’s. Saving up for the other parts for my first build! Muhahahaa!

11am Sunday @ Gun Gallery? Could I meet you there too?
