Hi from La Junta. I found this site accidentally while doing a search. A little about myself, I started hunting/shooting at a tender young single digit age, which would be around 50 years ago. I was a member of the local Sheriff's Dept. Reserve for nearly 20 years, several of them the Posse Training Officer. I am a life member of: SASS, USPSA (Range Officer), the local club (La Junta Rifle Club) and a Benefactor member of the NRA. I have owned several ARs over the years but now I am down to two. A Colt Match rifle that has taken on a new look over the years (SPR) and a Dissipator that is helping the funding on my part of a two rifle build for a friend and myself. We are building middys with mine being an Adams Arms piston gun with all the AA upper extras and some Magpull FDE items on the side. I better shut this down before I tell my life story. Glad you are here.

Well, I am suprised I spilled my guts like that, I am a very private person. I guess it would be more accurate to say I know a little about a lot of stuff... not a great deal about anything. If you just think about it most of us have a great wealth of info in us. Some don't show it and others don't quit. [ROFL1]
Thanks to all for the welcome

Welcome from one of the youngsters! (I'm only 36, that's still a youngster right?)

You sound like a guy I went shooting with a couple of years ago while at a family reunion at John Martin Reservoir (week after labor day - '07 IIRC)- my soon to be family member took us (myself, my wife and my brother-in-law and his wife and kids) into Lamar to a shooting range down there with a friend of his. At least I think it was a friend - coulda been a family member... (his name is Cliff).

Thats not as funny to me now as it was thirty years ago. I have been forgetting more and more the last few years. You know the old saying, Memory is the first thing to go... and I forgot the second. [ROFL2]
Thanks again guys

OH GOD, there surely aren't two of us I hope?... but my name is Jerry so it must have been someone that just looked like me.

Hopefully this is better than I started out. I had a heck of a time getting my stupid computer to do what I told it to the other night.

Yes that is still considered young, I've owned guns for longer than that. My boy is 38.

Well - I meant HIS (my new relative) name is Cliff - lives in Lamar... the friend was the Posse guy and NRA member/all around good guy. He was shooting Glocks that day IIRC.

I know, I was just gining you a bad time. Besides I sold all my Glocks and went to the XDm, just kidding again.
It is hard to tell the inflection of a persons "keystrokes" isn't it?

Welcome JERRY.
I'm over in Trinidad. There used to be some small but good gun shows over near you, at Rocky Ford. Don't believe they have them anymore though.
Welcome to a nice site with a bunch of friendly/understanding guys. IMHO.

Thanks Bob
Yes we had some good shows in the past at Rocky Ford and the OJC gym but those days are long gone. Now I just try to find what I want online. Not as much fun but, oh well...
Jerry

Welcome from another La Junta native, I've got many fond memories out at the rifle club (grew up shooting out there). This is a great forum with a wealth of info. Also keep your eyes on the for sale section, plenty of good deals to be had, I've certainly made a few myself.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
