General Discussion / Re: New Member? Introduce yourself here!
« on: March 09, 2013, 09:03:15 AM »
Have been a member here for a while but not terribly active.  Am a professional writer and contribute to the HRA website. I recently got into the AR and AK platforms.   Before that was primarily shooting revolvers and 1911s. Realized that someone was selling a VEPR (which I really wanted to buy) but found out too late.  Am interested in seeing what people are buying and selling in the AR space. This is a great forum for Hawaii people.

I've been here in the Aloha State for 18 years but am new to 2aHawaii.  Got reintroduced to shooting after a 40 year hiatus.

So what got me started again? Was "gifted" a .32 Beretta, a WWII souvenir that had been sitting in my father's cabinet for about 65 years. I think we took it out twice. (He was never a "gun guy" and I think still has PTSD). After I  took the old Beretta out to the range I realized if I were going to hit something at 25 yards, never mind 50, I'd better find another handgun or two. 

So I did.  Now I'm beginning to shoot bullseye competitively and am also interested in silhouette shooting as well. I'm also interested in acquiring a rifle -- either a .243 or .308 bolt action so if there is someone interested in a trade or maybe a purchase, I'm all ears.  I'd like to find something I could take to the range or maybe hunt pigs or deer with on the Big Island.

Have found the regulars at the range to be very fine people who have been very accepting of newbies.  Am very grateful for their generosity of spirit.
