Hello from Englewood (by way of Hickory, NC)

Hello!
New member here and although my family (on both parent’s sides) are from FL (my Mom’s side settled in Punta Gorda in the 40’s; and, my Dads mom was raised on and can trace her roots in the Keys back to before FL was even a state!), I am wintering close to Sarasota Trap Skeet & Clays from my lake house in Western Carolina. (Thus the handle “fla” and “nc”)
Currently, I shoot a lot of sporting and 5-stand here in FL, followed by skeet and trap; and, in WNC I compete in action pistol a couple times a month. I was competing in highpower rifle and may take that back up again once a month.
I spent decades shooting Bullseye (and PPC) and made it to Camp Perry more than once and since I am still sitting on safe shelves of precision pistols I had dreams of making it up to Wyoming Antelope Club in Tampa on some weekends but alas, the traffic congestion and one-way drive distance is too much. So, I am enjoying smacking clays at Sarasota and the Bermont Shooting Club in Punta Gorda (turns out I have a cousin who used to be the resident manager of the Boy Scout ranch near there, also on Bermont Road!)
A staunch advocate of the Second Amendment I am already active on the CarolinaFirearmsForums, MDShooters.com and ShotgunWorld.com but, I am joining The Network here in the hopes of not only tuning into the pro-2A community here as well as possibly meeting up with any other sporting / 5-stand shooters at Sarasota.
When not shooting or enjoying the local life with my wife and dog I currently spend my time monitoring progress of all the different lawsuits against the ATF … particularly the suits involving pistol braces
