A nice intro into the world of target shooting

    I've been a hunter for years, but this jan I took a resolution to broaden my firearms interest . I joined harbours house, and It has been a wonderful experience. At first I though I would be laughed out of the place with my old game guns, but the pro target guys are spot on. Yesterday a guy let me shoot his pro .22, I was blown away by it, he even said I was welcome to borrow it for comps. Wow. I totally recommend it to anyone, I've caught the bug I think , I'm waiting on my gallery gun and pistol licensing now, an Italian 357 lever action and a ruger single six. There is room for every style and taste there, I prefere the old style guns, but the modern ones are cool too. Looking forward to the shooting year . What a nice intro to the sport.

    I think overall 99% of people you meet in the target shooting community will go out of their way to help new folks get involved. I have met some fantastic people and made some very good friends from clubs all over the country.
    As Clive said, great to see new faces and see you on the line.
