Saying hello

Post by JakeThePeg » 24 Jun 2016, 5:44 am

Good morning all.

From NSW, 26yo

I do a lot of pig and fox hunting as well as busting clays.

Recently aquired a 300win mag and will be trawling the forum for tips and tricks on long distance shooting.

Looking forward to learn from everyone, and hopefully pass on some knowledge.

Cheers
Jake

Welcome aboard young fella, good to see a fellow New South Welshman signing up. I was getting worried this forum was being over run by the Banana benders to the north and the Mexicans in the south. There's a great depth of knowledge to be gleaned here so feel free to jump in and contribute.

Greetings from Florida's Capital City

Post by Miami_JBT » 23 Aug 2016, 7:10 am

Been lurking for a little while and I figured I’d finally join. So I guess I now need to introduce myself.

Born and raised in Miami Florida and currently living in Tallahassee (State Capital). Family is Cuban and Spanish in my first language. I’m a second generation cop and started my career in Uniform Patrol in Miami. Yes, the actual Miami of Miami Vice fame. Anyways…. I’ve progressed in my career and moved from Uniform Patrol to VIP/Dignitary Protection and now currently in plain clothes investigations. Other than being a cop I was also a grunt in the Army and had a gun shop.

As a second gen cop, I grew up around guns. My father was a cop for 36 years and also a hunter. So guns around the house were common. I remember dad wearing a S&W Model 13 as a plain clothes special agent during the cocaine cowboy days of 1980s Miami and then him moving onto the Beretta 92SB and later he was one of the first cops in Florida to carry Glock. So yeah…. Guns are I have a very long history together.

Anyways; I enjoy traveling, guns, hunting, and making new contacts across the globe. I hope I don’t come across as some brash jerk showing off his toys. I’m a sucker for police and military patches and challenge coins.

G'day and welcome. Just gotta watch trying to make sarcastic remarks without using the emoticon, some folks just don't read it that way.
Guilty your honour. :oops:

Your 'dexterity' with English is impressive, given that it's NOT your 'first language'.

( many about here .... Including me, look quite ordinary in our attempt with English. Lol )

Ohh ..... and welcome, Yank.
