    Hello to all of INGO. I am so happy I found this forum. I am looking forward to learning quite a bit, here, and hoping I have something of value to contribute.

    My name is Tom, 65 y.o. and married w/2 adult children. My home is in Osceola (just east of Mishawaka). I am a US Army veteran of 9 years ('74-'83). I am a registered nurse, currently working at Elkhart General Hospital in the CardioVascular Recovery unit. Good work, if you can get it. My shooting hobbies run in two directions. I primarily shoot handguns, kept a CCW permit when they were required, and maintain a lifetime permit now that they are not required. My range time is mix of 9mm (Sig P320 full-size/Sig P365), 45 acp (Glock 21), and 32 acp (Keltek P32). I recently bought a Browning Buckmark because my 13 y.o. grandson can go through several hundred rounds in an afternoon. The other part of my shooting is done with Canon cameras. I guess I am a collector, of sorts. If memory serves (it often does not), I currently own 3 digital Canon cameras of recent vintage, and several fully-functional 35mm film cameras of varying age. Some shooters take their successes to the taxidermist. I take mine to Walmart... for printing. I estimate there are 200 of my photos framed and hanging in my house. I take 'em, my wife decides what goes up where at what size.

    @Bassat Welcome from Boone county.

    Thank you for your service!

    There is a pictures of the outdoors thread which is fairly active. Feel free to drop some of your non-firearm related shooting in that thread.

    Props on the Browning buckmark. Great gun, and an excellent tool to teach a young one pistol marksmanship.

    Welcome, some other good photographers in here, @MindfulMan comes to mind.

    Welcome neighbor! (Probably more literal than when I say that to others)

    I plan on being at the SJCRC a bit more this year. Maybe we'll bump into each other.
