Title: Hello from WA!
Post by: chung on June 04, 2015, 01:13:32 AM: Hey all - greetings from the PNW. I was referred to this forum by my friend and coworker, Kyle. I really like what is going on here from vehicles to survival, and the incorporation of a Christian foundation.

My main hobbies consist of motorsports, firearms and survival/prep.
Motorsports - I used to build up cars and race them during track days. Past machines include a built up e36 M3 and gen 1 Miata. I enjoyed doing my own work and as a result gained some hobby-level fabrication skills between a tig and a chop saw (pie slices ftw ;D). However, those are now gone and I have taken an interest in expedition/overland setups. I'm on the hunt for a fjz80! Also, anyone here watch Top Gear (UK) or follow F1?
Firearms - I've got the bug... bad (thanks Kyle). My collection seems to be always-evolving, but I'm mainly a glock/AR guy. Recently got into reloading as well, mainly to make 300blk more affordable. I've also started trap shooting - hope to learn to actually hunt one day.
Survival/prep - Always good to have a backup plan for the backup plan for the backup plan for the plan right? I like discovering new tools and gadgets in the search for ideal EDC setups. Beyond that, I like pondering my car's get home bag and my home's bug out bag (or tupperware as it may be - because lets face it, if I'm leaving I'm going to get as far as I can in my vehicle before I start throwing things in my pack).

Anyhow, it is great to join this community. There seems to be quality people and a growing library of information. Hope to be able to contribute a bit too!

Caleb

Thanks all! Will do. Kyle actually built my reloading bench for me :D I'll get some photos up soon. I've got a sdn-6 waiting in jail for the 300.

Hopefully Caleb will be able to do some gear reviews. He's got some very nice equipment in that safe of his!

I just read the thread on that -- a very moving story and incredible outcome! Did not imagine the support group on this site. I'm down to shoot sometime and learn a few things. I keep missing the ones that launch to the right when I'm at position 5 (as a lefty). Very nice O/U btw :D

As a lefty myself- point your forward foot towards house, swing right towards where you'd like to break it and a bit low- speed up through it and squeeze trigger- it's moving faster than you think! Highly unlikely you'll shoot ahead of it! Follow though is key! As you near 90* the lead gets huge!!!
