Hi Ya'll

I wanted to introduce myself as a new member of this forum. I am very excited to learn, and share my experiences. I recently got two new "best friends" my STI -Escort and my STI Electra. WOW. I learned with my S & W Shield, and love them all. My Honey taught me to shoot about 1and 1/2 year ago, and received my CHL in November,2012. I have always wanted to learn to shoot and protect myself and the ones that I love. needless to say, they call me "Annie Oakley". My first time to shoot was withmy 308 and was a 6"x6" steel plate at 500 yds. You can only imagine the thrillI got when I hear the ping, All the guys around me at the range were amazed, so I guess my fathers Gift of shooting was passed down to me. :lol:: I really am a "newbe" and have so much to learn and am happy to be a member of this most respectable forum.
Being a texas girl, I feel the world is getting crazier and want to beable to protect myself. So much for now, as it is late and gotta get to sleep. until later Ya'll....Char

Welcome Char! My wife carries all of the time and really enjoys our range time although she won't touch our evil black gun in .308 ( :totap:) so far.

Thank ya'll so much for the warm welcome!! :roll: Its been a busy day, went shootin with Jeff ( my love) and tried to conceal carry my 6.8 but it just didn't fit in my purse ! :lol:: We go out in the country to a private range and today wind was 30 mil. per hour, but I still managed to hit the steel swinger at 200 yards. Took Little Rosie (my 1911 - Escort) and had a great time... wind and all.
John, tell your wife to try the 308 , and the 6.8,,mine really doesn't kick and I so enjoy target shootin!!
Jeff just got me some new grips - spalted brazilian cherry wood that are rockin on my new ELEKTRA - As soon as I figureout how to download pics. I will. :hurry:
Thank ya'll again for my warm welcome and will be back soon. :txflag:
