So its been about a year since I joined coar15 and and I just have to say thanks its been great !
I have never been much of a joiner type , no team sports (don't even care to watch them) , not into crowds and I never really talked to anybody in the shooting community , then one day I found this place . At first i just came here to buy a rifle but very quickly realized this place had so much more to offer . I have not only gotten to trade a bunch of stuff but I have met some great people .I really could not have gotten by at times without coar15 as a resource . Also i have even gotten tremendous amounts of help for my little business and cleaning up the ranges . Its people like blasterbob , byte stryke , cwriprinz , and many others that have really helped me not only start up and stay a float . I know at times Im a bit of a PITA and I type like a half wit , but the mods and members have shown me a lot patience and respect. I have learned a lot this year not just about gun stuff but about people . It is nice to see that there really are decent people left in the world .
The subject of range clean ups
Ok so a bunch of people have asked so .... yes Ill continue to do it and yes Ill let others know but next season Im gonna try a different approach. While yes 80% of those that I have talked to think what Im doing is great , the other 20% are so damned rude that I may no longer want to have it be posted on the inernet (well at least not a sticky) , ill figure it out . Anyway for those that helped or showed support id just like to say thank you very much and even know they don't realize it so does the shooting community .

guess what im really getting at is thank you coar15 mods and members for a great first year and i look forward to the next one !

You and I joined around the same time, good to meet you and I'm thankful for what you do. I'm pretty new to the shooting community and it's great to know there are those out there who are advocates to keep the community wholesome and respectful/respected by others.

How could anyone be rude to you for what you do?

You were actually the first guy I met from here (think I bought some 7.62x39 from you), and if not for that I likely would have stuck to the for sale sections.

PS. You gonna get back to me on that boy scout stuff for my little one?

:(damn that kinda makes me sad :( .he is a great little guy and a better shot than me [ROFL1] , not to mention he really enjoys helping out . almost makes me want to start right back up . give me a few weeks and maybe we will start a regular shooting/cleaning day that focuses on the young people . i know my favorite times as a little kid were spent with family, friends of family and things that go bang .

Thanks for the range cleanups. I've been unable to help due to financial and medical issues. Hopefully these issues will resolve and I can help with range cleanups in the future.
