Howdy yall, my name is Deric and I was born with a rifle in my hand- got interesed in guns at 6 and started shootin at 9. Now Im 15 and looking to join Cowboy Action Shootin, but sure just where to start. I have a good 'ol Westernfield lever action in .30-30 (nothin fancy: exposed hammer, tradditional Buckhorn/brass bead sights, wood stock, and so on). Of course, since most folks dont trust young shooters, Im a little on the skiddish side about joining. Ive "owned" my own gun since 9 and Ive had 6 years without an accident. Both my ma and pa are from deep in the heart of the Blue Ridge, and they both grew up with firearms, and after my brother taught me some shootin skills I was trusted with firearms. I just want the good folks around here to know that Im a serious lover of old guns and that Im looking for some good competetion- I live in the Williamsburg (VA) area in the rural parts, so, does anyone have ideas?
