How did you find the Guns & Ammo Forum?
Back when this place was still the prisoner of Florida Sportsman (Intermedia?) about 8 years ago, I took my neanderthal computer skills and did a google search on "3-Gun Battery". Well, this place (other iteration it was back then) popped up and I started browsing. I lurked for about a week and then joined. It was the first forum I'd ever participated in.
Since then, I joined the Ruger forum for the expressed purpose of selling some Ruger firearms I had. I sold the guns and bailed.
This is my only home and I blame Al Gore and his creation of the internet for all the time I've spent here.
What's your story? How'd you find the place?

I think there was a Google search that brought me to a thread that was old. I joined and resurrected said old thread. Been a pain in you guy's butts ever since.

I learned more about guns and shooting from reading on here than anyplace else.
Don't remember. He had so many! I had my eyes LASIKed in Dec 2000.... I thought I joined not long after....
I remember my first flame war here. I lived on a dead end street that was all downhill to a river. We got 8'' of snow and the cities snowplow broke and I couldn't get up the hill in my 2wd Ranger. Of course some blowhard drove up Mt Everest in 10' of snow with his Ranger!

I will fear no evil: For I carry a .308 and not a .270

Well, did you find one yet, don't keep us in suspense:blah:
I came from the florida sportsman fishing side
God sent me here to extoll the virtues of his greatest creation, the .270 Winchester!!!:jester:
OK, now that I've most probably gotten some of your attention, I will tell how I REALLY found this place. I had lost my Model 700 BDL 6mm Remington in a divorce. I really loved that gun and had been kicking myself for having left it in the house when I left. I fell for her BS when she said "You can come back Monday while I'm at work and get the rest of your stuff." I should have smelled a rat right there, but I didn't. That was Saturday morning Jan. 13, 2001. I left and came back Monday morning. I got in the house because one of my kids was there doing something for her. She was gone to work. Anyway, when I got in, I discovered she had had the locks changed on everything, including the door to my gun safe room. So it was bye bye 6mm BDL, .308 Ruger Varminter, Model 788 Rem. .223, Citori Superlight 20 gauge, Model 1000 S&W 12 ga. and a few other guns. Never saw them again. Anyway, I got this urge to find another 700 BDL 6mm but having been out of the gun circuit for a few years, I had no idea what one would cost. So I did a search on the Firearms Blue Book, and it sent me here and got to arguing with the locals about nothing. Made some enemies, made some friends, but until lately, forgot all about finding another 6mm Rem.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.

Plus it was great to know that there were other gun nuts out there, growing up I knew plenty of hunters but no one who really was into guns and shooting.
I think I was looking for something about .270s either that or my Marlin....The internet search led me here.
Matt hadn't gone off to school in NM yet, Jim Rice was still around, Dan J. hadn't yet made it to the forum...But he showed up shortly after I did.
That was before the Intermedia "Floriduh Sportsdork" merging. Back when the "Chicken Fingers" thread went 10 pages. Probably 1999 or 2000.
