Howdy, my profile name is K8bor (ham call sign) but my name is Dave.
Getting within a few years of retirement, but still working.
Favorites are fishing, reloading, shooting and hunting. Not necessarily in that order. Anymore I can't tell whether I reload so I can shoot more, or shoot so I can reload more. I also cast my own bullets. I have a special interest in leverguns and own a number of them.
This year I'm on a mission to shoot open sights well again. I'm a Marine Corps Viet Nam vet, so I learned how to shoot the right way back when, but like everyone else, you give into ease and shoot everything with scopes. Scopes definitely have their place, but up here in Michigan my shots are never over 75 yards, and scopes just wreck the lines and balance of the lever guns.
I've found I call still hit dinner plates at 100 yards with aperture sights, so I think I may hunt deer that way this year.
I have an absolutely wonderful sister-in-law that lives in the Mishawaka area, which is my primary source of visitation to your state. I find your forums interesting reading for a long time now, and just thought I might add my $.02 worth from time to time if it's OK.
