My name is Chris. I shot my first rifle around age 10, mostly 22 and when I was 16 my dad bought me a .270 which I bagged three deer with over the next two years. I shot our 357 revolver a few times, a 25 auto (sucked at it), a shotgun and one time my dads 7 mag which just about dislocated my shoulder. Then I joined the Navy, got to shoot an M16 in boot camp, as well as a Baretta 9mm, and besides from having a go with the 50 cal on the crows nests of the USS Elliot shooting at trash bags out at sea to make sure they sunk, never really touched a gun after I left home at 17 and a half.
Occasionally I would have the off chance of meeting up with friends in Wyoming who would go out with AK-47s and a buddy of mine with a 44 magnum down in Ocotillo, CA where we would play a fun game of chug a beer, throw the can out and see how many times you could get it out of 6 shots. Then I moved here to AZ. I built a friend of mine who lives 3 blocks from Raceway a computer back in 08 and he traded me a Ruger security six (357 revolver) for it. I took it to the range in CG once, and beyond that it collected dust in bed side table drawer for the next year.
Then I met my wife, and her gun nut brother. Two years later I've traded the security six, but I now have a 1911, a Cobray M11/9mm SMG, and three rifles, a 22, a single action 223, and my childhood 270, two gun safes, one next to the bed, and one here in the computer room. I shoot like poop with the 1911 (but getting much better), the mack is point and spray, and the rifles I'm pretty decent with.
