Started in 2001 when I was 47. Wish I would have found it sooner, but all things happen when they must.

Got hooked last year after my 25th B-day.
Lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,

18 ish.
I was in AK when I first started and didn't really start shooting IPSC until I moved to AZ in 92. I would have been 19 then.

Steel IPSC style match in '80, I was 11. First IPSC, I was 12 or 13 I think. Joined USPSA in 07. Didn't shoot a match between 1990 or 91 and 2006.
The sport and the PEOPLE brought me back. I just like how most of them I meet are just real good folks! Kina like why I like this forum. It's like going to the range. The people you meet here are just good people.
