[Minx]

I looked for a thread dedicated to introductions, but couldn't find one. I guess "The Bear Pit" would be the right place for mine then, save for the fact that even the name "The Bear Pit" makes me think it'll be tough to fit in here.

Basically, my knowledge on weapons is slim to none. I want to learn, so that's how I accidently found my way here. I'm hoping if I keep quiet and pay attention I might be able to learn a thing or two. Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone willing to answer all my dumb questions.

Personal info, my name is Chelsea. I'm female, yes. I'm a baby, pretty young. I've never used a weapon in my life, unless you count my fists! Haha, or throwing shuriken for fun. I've got no idea if I'm going to make it on this forum, but I won't hold my breath.

Welcome aboard!

Don't worry you'll fit right in as long as you keep a thick skin. Also make sure to hang out in the Shout Box whenever possible. It's pretty entertaining there.

Re: Brand New

This forum is overwhelmingly male, and hence women are always lauded and approached with the same typical sexual curiosity they can expect anytime they're surrounded by a bunch of men.

If you're genuinely interested in learning to shoot this is a good place for that.

Enjoy the show, and welcome.

Not every girl is Buttercup material.

Should I post pictures of myself in my underwear to try and get her back?

Re: Brand New

I'm right here, haha. I'm not gone. I just got a little distracted. And don't worry, I'm not scared...yet. I might look sweet, but I'm a bit tougher than most girls my age, or most women in general.

Re: Brand New

What do you guys want to know? Like I said, I'm Chelsea. I'm from New Jersey. NO I don't have a Jersey accent and we're nothing like the show Jersey Shore. I play too many video games in my spare time. I've been playing part-time mom to my nephew since I was 14. I've got a lot of military friends. Always been a bit of a tomboy. If there's anything else you want to know, ask!

Seriously? Do we have to put that in my intro topic? You've already said it once, that's just kind of overboard, in my honest opinion.

Your honest opinion doesn't count. In case you aren't aware, any interaction with sexual overtones to a minor (you) is very illegal and has no (read ZERO) place here. We welcome your presence here and will do everything we can to help teach you and answer your questions however that willingness to help does come at a price and that price is our overly cautious reminders.

My apologize, Mike, I was unaware that screaming the fact that I am a 17 year old female would help reduce people's comments about it.

Minx, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it many of the guys here will act like they are 16; and just like with 16 year olds drawing attention to something will only accelerate exacerbate the issue.

If your willing to have a little thick skin you will find that many of these guys will also go above and beyond to help you in any way they can with regards to LR shooting. Keeping this in mind may go a long way in your stay here.

Re: Brand New

Be Nice. Nuff Said on that.
The kid wants to know about long range shooting and desires to learn everything about guns that we know. There is nothing wrong with that. Since this site went Pay for the 'online training' the curious have to ask in the open forum or pay where once was free, albiet, not nearly as good.
We have given names like 'Ballistic', 'Maser', and quite a few others our combined knowledge of what we all enjoy in the shooting community, as well as lots of thick skinned testing so that our hobby may not only grow, but stay safe.
I will offer what I have learned to make this a greater experience for a new individual to our forum. I also will prevail upon you all to stand down with the asshatery and be nice so no one gets into trouble for dumb shit. I will also make it my point to insure a trouble free environment sans harrassment, however any and all other thin skinned baiting is, how do you say it these days,"GAME ON"
She has expressed how tough she is and says she can hang here although she is greatly out of her league. Me, I promised to be nice for a change so lets see just how much combined marksmanship knowledge we can offer to this individual who desires to learn about it.

Isn't a Chief some kind of squid
