New Mexico Greetings

Hi there! New member from New Mexico where some of us fight for our rights. Been fighting for the 2A since the late 70s, when I lived in Baltimore. Became a Navy wife when I married a USN GMC. The family that shoots together, stays together as I learned from my mom & pop. Looking forward to learning things & somewhat civil discussion.

@Elaine welcome to full30.

I enjoy shooting several things. I have shot all three disciplines (rifle, pistol, and shotgun) competitively and I also hunt, especially varmints. I’ve done bulls-eye shooting, competed in Chevy Team challenge (1993), and numerous shotgun events.

As for what guns I like to shoot, my favorite handguns are a CZ 50 in .32, Colt 1911 (.45 & .38), and a S & W Mod 41. Favorite rifles are my varmint gun, Sako Riihimaki in .222; deer rifle, my dad’s pre-64 Mod 70, which I inherited, and when I shoot targets with NM MILSURPS, I use an AR15.

Shot gunning is my favorite discipline. I love, love, love shooting clay targets, especially sporting clays. Trap, doubles trap, skeet, international skeet… I even tried international trap. That was a humbling experience. I’m very proud of my 7 hits out of 100. LOL…

Trap shotguns: Browing BT 99 & pre-64 Mod 12 Trap
Skeet guns: Nikko Shadow Indy; Rem 870 (.410 & 28); Win 101 (28)
Sporting Clays - see skeet guns

The guys are in trouble now…

Mosinvirus · July 26, 2021, 2:51am

Now I want to go shoot a shotgun. I blame you @Elaine.

Welcome to Full30 Elaine! You should fit right in, but in the past you might have needed to insert earplugs.

Elaine · July 26, 2021, 3:03am

Please don’t think I’m a prude. LOL… I can actually hold my own, but prefer civility.

Thank you all for the kind welcome.
