I used to be a young punk on here…

But now I guess I could be an old timer!
I don’t remember when I got on here but it would mostly likely be during my watchmaking school days so 95-99? I know I had become good enough friends with a few on here that I mailed out wedding invites back in 2004. Two of those gentlemen are not with us anymore. The first time I ever met AK Church face to face was when I picked him up for my wedding! That was an interesting thing to try to explain to my parents!
I have been lucky enough to meet several of the fine folks on here at Cannon Watts’ annual shoot, which I guess came from my not very well put together get together. I put forth the idea that a few of us get together at a local range and ole Dan and Renita drive down from Ft Wayne and Cannon and Gunner drove over from the St Louis area. The range wasn’t great but it was a good time and Cannon offered up his family farm for the next shoot and it’s grown into a great weekend where I’ve had the pleasure of meeting even more Sixgunners. One day (soon) I need to get down to a CSA shoot and put even more faces to names.
Glad you guys have put up with me for all these years!
