Just stopped by to say Hi!
« on: November 18, 2008, 12:48:22 PM »
I have been off the site for quite some time. I have been dealing with (still not finished) some political issues, a divorce, and issues with my son. Looks like my days in Montana might be numbered as there are not many jobs for a 58 yo fella. I've been a gunsmith for 25 years and have sold out my shop. I'm an NRA certified Handgun Instructor, and life member. I've been a pilot, an engineer, and a salesman. My sister has convinced me to come back to Tulsa were I grew up. I havn't been back in 30 years. Would appreciate any good words you guys might have about hunting in Oklahoma. I saw the Prarie dog shoot and can't wait to fire up my .243 Encore. I still have a slicked up H&R receiver to build from also. Well just wanted to say Hi to all....Fanner50

fanner50!  Now that a name that brings back fond old memories!  I remember spending my life's savings back in the day, when I was playing Cowboy's and Indians just to buy one!  Loved that gun.   ;D

When you show up in Tulsa let me know. "thats where I live"

We can get together and do some shooting. Heck, you can ride to the 2009 P-Dog shoot with me!
