| Hi fellow Illini, Happy New Year!! I'm Jeff out of Byron Il. I'm a retired Jack of most trades, Master of a few. I have 22's thru 308 with a couple stuck in the middle. A little hunting(deer/turkey/fox or any problem varmints) and fishing(catfish/crappie or whatever bites the damn hook) and 5 acre homestead with horses(3), dogs(3), cats(lost count) and of course shooting take up most of my time and money. I've been around for awhile, figured I was on a few lists (Retired Mil-USA ,NRA Life Member, Ar10 owner-OK it's an LR308AP4, no criminal record and some others I'm sure), so I finally decided to join the fray. Hope to swap a few stories/bs, knowledge/derp, and laughter/tears with you folks and the rest of the Hive. Hang loose and never say uncle!! Later 1Bool |
Slow but sure!

Name: Matthew
Loc: Northern IL Firearms EXP: I've fired a variety of firearms, though I don't own many. My favorites have been the SCAR-16s and the Glock 17, and Beretta M9. I'm so Tacticool, I know. 'Bout me: I love military history and politics. I spend quite a bit of my time thinking about my political opinions and their strengths and weaknesses and how I can best defend them. My favorite genre of music is Heavy metal. I'm a huge fan of PC gaming. At the moment, my game of choice if Halo 1's multiplayer. Doom, Borderlands, and the ARMA Series have been some of my favorites. My favorite Bible verse is Hebrews 12:11 because I very much value self-discipline and facing the consequences of my own actions, unlike so much of the culture around me. I strive for excellency in all things in life, because the way I see it, generally speaking, the more effort you put into something, the more you're going to get out of it. I'm an extremely loyal friend and would gladly fight and die for my closest friends. |
