Any "Handi" guys besides me in Florida?
« on: December 26, 2007, 07:20:28 AM »
Just wondering.  I see talk of all kinds of locations, but have never heard mention of anyone else in Florida.   :)

  Hi Krod,
  Palmetto area, just got a new BC 45-70 and loaded a few cast 405gr. boolets for it . Will shoot it this week.
  I have some w/2400 and some BP loads. Cant wait to try them out.
  What are you shooting?

I lived in Fernandina Beach FL for about 9 years. Did some surfing at Mayport to. I also worked at Kings bay Navel base for many years. Dale

Thanks for responding gentlemen.  I am in Inverness (Citrus County).  I have a few handis, and a bunch of barrels.  It seems my collection is always changing.  One reason for posting this is that I see things in the classifieds from time to time that would be easier transactions within the same state.  Just needed to know who was within my state.  Good to know I'm not the only one down here.

Krod,
       I'm in Bradenton/Sarasota area. I saw quite a few deer in your area (Citrus WMA) during the archery hunt this year.

I lived in Haines City back in '58 when I was a teenager. Does that count.  ;D

We do have lots of folks from FL on here but I'm not sure how many of them are handi holics.

You probably wouldn't recognize that area now.  I would imagine there was not much there in 58, since it is just getting populated in the last 5-6 years.

I live in West Melbourne, central Florida, east side.  I have a Topper 158 20 ga and 30/30 and a superlight 243 that has a 45 L.C. barrel and is getting a 223 bbl right now.  Hope it is on its way home now.
