Just joined the DW NATION! I started shooting in January. I've been wheelchair bound since 12/2/67 when I was 19. I broke my neck playing a sand lot fraternity football game at UF. I didn't realize I could shoot until a range opened here. My son-in-law happened to go shoot and I went with him. I asked some questions because I don't have full use of my hands and asked an instructor if I could shoot. He said sure an I've been hooked ever since. I started buying guns online and discovered DW. I purchased several and love them. Now I've started collecting an am hooked.

Welcome to our little corner of the web.  We hope you enjoy it here.  Sounds like you already have a case of DWAS.  Careful, it can be expensive.

Hello Spgator55 and Welcome to the DWF Sign!  I am glad you joined the DW Nation, that's a cool way to put it.  If you use the same screen name on GB, let me tell you I would agree you have been buying guns on line.  I believe I asked the question once in a thread, "who is that guy?" Now I know. All of a sudden you were very active. We love to see other forum members land some prize Dans, but, Post Pics, so give us a look at your collection so far.

I am certainly glad to hear you are able to handle the shooting considering your challenging condition. How's your aim? I have trouble seeing the targets, but we are probably the same age as I was in college in '67 and also 19.

Looking forward to hear more from you, and remember the Cool Pics  rofl.

Welcome

Spgator55  Welcome. My oldest daughter is also a Gator finished her masters in Geology in 2004 and is now working on the Tar Sands project in Ft. Mac Murry Alberta. She got me into hand guns after a trip to Kids camp at the NRA's Whitington Center when she was 15. It all started when she came home and said "Dad you need a Thompson Center Contender they are really cool.". Contenders lead me to a .357 max, which lead me to a DW 740. I still haven't bought another DW. but I have accumulated a couple of barrels for the one I have.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Sorta snowballed is an understatement!

 

Welcome to the DW Nation. These things are very addicting, it's easy to see why one would want so many of them.

Not much that "Stevie come lately" can say except, Hi!

 

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
