Hello All,
Today I joined Northwest Firearms and I am rather excited to interact with this community; it is the first blog (if that's what you call it) that I have joined. I am somewhat new to firearms; I have done some training at The Marksman in Puyallup, safety, how to shoot, when to shoot....that is rather focused on self-protection and that is not where I want to go with shooting. They do an excellent job on all three of those courses; I highly recommend them. But, I've learned that carrying is not for me...too much training to be effective and too much responsibility; that may change but for right now, I don't want to carry although I did attain a CPL. I am thinking to get a shotgun for at home protection. I recently purchased a new S&W M&P 9MM 4 1/8", and immediately realized carrying is not for me so maybe I can trade it.
I want to do sport shooting with .22LR rifles in a safe outdoor area at targets. I have always enjoyed the outdoors and enjoy photography and birding. I am in the Olympia area and looking for like minded people. I have fished in WA for the last 40 years and don't care to do it unless with a guide; it is too much work for me. I recently met a great guide located in my area.
I need to buy a 22LR rifles and am currently considering the Ruger 22LR, considering a 4X scope; maybe one for the wife too, probably. I'd appreciate any constructive, informative, or experiential (big word:winkkiss postings you might share.
Thank You, Stay Safe and Have Fun,
Joly
