Bourbon Butch Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 All - Saying "howdy" from SoCal. Just getting into CAS and hoping to learn from y'all. Brief: Commander, U.S. Navy. Just returned (8 mos ago) from Afghanistan. Married w/ 2 girls. Have shot USPSA in the past and CAS looks like a lot of fun. Will be keeping an eye on this forum and sure I'll have a ton of questions. Thanks in advance. Stay safe. Rich AKA Bourbon Butch Frederick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Whiskers Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Welcome to the fray and thanks for your service.You'll have a ball and meet some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.Go to shoots even if you don't have all your stuff.Hang out...watch...talk...but I'll bet before the day is out you'll have lots of Pards offering guns and leather so you can shoot a stage or 2.If you haven't started buying your setup yet...hold off.Try different kinds and makes of rifles,shotguns and pistola's to see what feels best to you.Then start buying.Again...thanks for your service and WELCOME to CAS.

Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Welcome and ignore the occasional gruffness some display on here. Almost all are great pards when you meet them at the range and would share their shirt with a fellow shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 A Jedi Salute to Bourbon Butch. Welcome. Your living in S.Cal is gona put you around some the the best shooters in the World. The advice on going to a couple matches and 'hangin out' and askin questions is straight talk. Check out all the unique firearms, etc.....and then focus on those you want to start with. You noticed I said 'start' with. Because if your like most of us, that first set is only the beginning. Everybody knows, you got to have multiple sets of everything.....'just in case'.. Thanks for your service and glad your back home safe. God Bless. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. T. Blade, SASS #35685Life Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Howdy Butch! First of all, welcome home and thanks for your service! Now........get ready for more fun that you ever thought possible! We have shootin' opportunities most every weekend here in So CA. Don't know where you're located, but I would suggest stoppin' by the Cowboys in Norco 4th Sunday of the month. We have a New Shooters clinic that will get you familiar with the firearms and most importantly, the safety and rules of the game. (You don't need any equipment, gear or ammo - all is supplied for a nominal charge. ($15, I believe). Go to the "Clubs" link and look for "The Cowboys". As you already have experience, this will allow you to check out all the guns and gear, learn the rules and decide if the game's for you before you go out of pocket for anything. It's a great way to start. In addition to the clinic, you can hang out/ask questions and be with some great folks before and after. Send me a PM if you're interested. Lucky (my MUCH better half) and I would be happy to meet you there and introduce you to the folks and the game. You'll feel right at home, guaranteed! Whatever you decide, don't be a stranger on the Wire. Great folks and great advice - free for the askin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
