    New shooter from Illinois

    I'm a retired professor from a small town in western Illinois. I love all things that go bang and have enjoyed all types of competitive shooting. From skeet and trap shooting at an army base in northern Japan in the mid 60's to bullseye, IPSC and cowboy action shooting in the 80's & 90's, it was all enjoyable. Also tried my hand at Bianchi cup, the Masters and local PPC matches. If it was a game with a gun, I wanted to play. The last few years my interests have turned to 1000 yard benchrest competition.

    Welcome from West Texas. Great forum for all things Colt and wonderful members that are extrememly helpful. wiuprof would probably place you in or around Macomb and Western Illinois University? Just hazarding a guess as I went to Monmouth just up the road . Enjoy the forum sir.

    Thanks for all the kind words, there seems to be a lot of info on this forum and I was lurking in the background for quite a while before joining. Happy holidays to all and keep your powder dry.
