I was here 18 years ago. I joined the old board about the year 2000 or maybe a bit earlier. It's been a nice place to visit that I read every day.

The hate was there in the beginning, it was just anonymous at the beginning. I logged in a day or two after the big change, and had been here, posting with my real name, for years before that.
I still post with my real name.

Best,
Ted

Thanks for the positive update on your daughter and kind remarks. Easy to lose sight of the time that passes, sometimes. Will pray that her life continues to bloom and y'all's too.

This board has been and continues to be comprised of 'passionate' as well as 'opinionated' individuals, many of whom are well versed in specific areas and perfectly willing to share an insight or assist another when they can; been that way from the get go. Have made some lasting friendships and acquaintances because of its existence over the years that would never have been possible otherwise. Sorely miss many of those now passed, inclusive of one that told me I was an 'idjit' for suggesting once that an individual who was prematurely wringing their hands over a recent purchase to 'just go shoot it at some skeet targets and see whether you can hit anything with it or not,' rather than patterning it first. I still think it was a reasonable enough and easily accomplished suggestion. Ha!

Personally, I value this place highly and have benefitted from its existence.. for a long while now; fairly close to right out of the gate on the original site, but lost that sequential low digit member# when the domain change took place.

And I'll continue to support it so that others might benefit as much as I have.

kind regards, tw

Our little girl at six days old. A few hours after her second surgery. (Camera used floppy discs!)



Our little girl and her old man went to Warped Tour this summer. We had a great time!

Congrats dad, many more great times to come. One of my daughter's has dragged me out to a concert or two. People get scattered around, but my wife and I are looking forward to visiting with two of ours this weekend.

No dragging required.
We find ourselves sharing our musical tastes. She drove with me to an auction last weekend (Took the car and visited grandma while I was at auction.)

We spent a good bit of the drive with Five Finger Death Punch turned up loud. laugh
When mom or sister are in the car, it is sedate and boring. wink

Well done, Dave!

Pete,
My wife and I worked it out last night. It has been 20 years since my son and I visited your home. I still have the Scott/Lindner Premier. Did have it renovated (not a full restoration) by some of the craftsmen I met though this website. Have also since learned the skills to do such work myself.

How long has it been since you hooked me up with the 32" L C Smith 0 grade, 10 ga.? I'll bet it's been over 18 years.
SRH


Stan,
That has to be 15+ years. It has been 15 years since I left the employer I was working for at the time. So it could easily be 18.

Geo.
Yes, Marksman was my handle at the time. The software requires that I still use it to log in, though my username displays as Utah Shotgunner. I started using that name, as I thought I would never leave Utah (and would return yesterday!). Of course, as soon as I made the change, we packed up and moved east.

Back at you Joe.

Am I dreaming or was there an earlier version of this board? I have many fond memories of Der Klunkmeister, Dr. Gaddy, Bill Wise.....the list goes on - too far I might add. These I have named were the cornerstones of this board as far as I was concerned. I still miss their contributions.


Perry,
Yep, there was earlier version. It think I first found Gunshop.com in mid to late 97. Just before I left Arizona for my move to Utah.
As Stan mentioned above. I remember a phone call with you. I was driving past the Kennecott Copper Mine, headed to a customer site in Nevada. Dont recall what we were discussing (shotgun related Im sure) but clearly remember the call.

Good grief US, I too (now) remember the call!! And that is an accomplishment since I do not remember what I had for dinner last night! I think it was about either a gun you had posted about or a piece of gear that you were using that I saw in some picture of you that you had posted??? Seems like ages ago. Well of course it does because it was!!!

Just saw your pictures US. You have a lot to be thankful for. That "little girl" has grown to be quite a beautiful young lady that I am absolutely sure you are justifiably proud of!! Treasure every moment you can spend with her!!
