Ok, Ok.. So my last message wondering about a net.risc group was a dumb
idea. I'll stick with net.arch (just to put and end to the mail I've been
getting on that) now for my next weird idea.. Is anyone out there into
GUNS?? (Please, no anti-gun flames from you right-to-not-get-blown-away-by-
some-idiot-in-the-street people, I'll just ignore you..) I'm wondering if
there's sufficient interest in ballistics/reloading and just general purpose
gun lore to merit a net.rec.shooting (or net.rec.guns, though that sounds
more inflamatory and less like a sport). The fine art of gun collecting and
target shooting (competition and otherwise) is a pastime shared by many of
my friends and probably a lot of net people out there.. How bout it?
Since gun lore is a wide field, (hunting, competition, plinking, mercenary
work!) I'd like to hear any feed-back on just what such a group would be
about.. Perhaps the whole lot..
Yay, nay?

Hubbard > {sun, decwrl, dual}!twg!greipa!jordan Start up the discussion and, if the traffic merits it, you should have no problem getting a new group. BTW, I've long been interested in trying out skeet shooting. It seem like a challanging sport. Any recommendations on how to go about it? I live in Chicago and am sure that there are several places in the area for it. Thanks in advance. -- --------------------------------------------------- Ben Liberman UUCP: ...ihnp4!wlcrjs!magik

There are probably more shooters out there than there are in many of the other net.rec categories. I vote yes. PS- Has this been posted to the various net admin categories? Gary

There's also the Benelli 12ga auto/pump shotgun and the chopped AR-15 that he picked up later. "These are all perfect for home defense..." Uh, yeh...
