As a relative new member of SH, I have learned so much about the wonderful world of guns, ammunition, optics, etc. The free flow of information is astounding as is the area of expertise and experience that is shared here. Where else could one get this type of education - and the price is right. In addition, the market forums for guns, optics and ammo gives me the chance to buy very decent equipment, usually at a very equitable, if not downright inexpensive prices. My experiences with the buy/sell/PIF aspects of this board have exposed me to some top notch folks. The self policing that keeps us all in order and preserves fairness is also amazing. So, thanks to LOWLIGHT and all the moderators who make this a rich and fertile ground for what has become a new passion of mine!
