[QUOTE="A/1-61, post: 2873826, member: 127316"] As a brand new member of this forum, I want to introduce myself. I am a lifelong hunter and shooter, 55 plus years. Like many, I learned my shooting skills in the US Army and even got some firsthand on the job training in a combat unit in Vietnam . My passion is big game and I have hunted with rifle, shotgun, and all types of bow. In the last 20 years, due to shoulder disabilities, my bow of choice now is the crossbow. I have always lived in the northeast and have tramped the length and breath of the state of Maine for some 50 years. In my home area, the 270 Winchester and a 20 gauge shotgun have done the trick for me. In the mid-90s, I branched out hunting the southern and western states. Whether it was a bean field in South Carolina, or and open Mesa in Colorado or Montana, I realize that I needed a longer range platform, so I bought a 300 Weatherby and a 7 mm STW in the mid 90s. In the 1970s I started doing my own reloading and I have not bought a factory cartridge since. I have skimmed through the site and read some interesting threads. I hope I can help some of you with my knowledge, and I know I can learn much from many of you. Thanks for the acceptance. [/QUOTE]
