Hello, I'm Mike Lee from Arvada CO, just a few miles NW of Denver. Fortunately, not very much like Denver😊
Some will recognize my handle from other sites. I'm liking the camaraderie so evident here and look forward to getting to know you all better.
I got started with ml guns around '75. My main interest at that time was bow hunting but my circumstances at that time did not allow for enough practice, so I took up the ml (a TC hawken of course) still have that rifle along with a few others gathered over the years. Mostly inexpensive kit guns and a couple kid guns built for the grand kids.
my first few years sorta resembled the inline guys who shoot a dozen shots per year but eventually I attended a few matches and enjoyed it immensely. These days I try to shoot as often as possible and manage to be an average shooter.
Would like to attend Friendship sometime, but it's a long haul.
Hunting remains a major annual event be it with bow or gun. I extend a welcome in advance to any who might be planning a visit to hunt CO. Happy to help in any way I can.

Welcome aboard, Mike. It's always good to have new people with different ideas. If you have any words of wisdom, be sure to share, I'll guarantee you that you can pick up a bit of advice here and there, we try to be pretty laid back, have some fun while exchanging high quality information, or well maybe just information or maybe we just talk about stuff anyway nice to have you along. Be sure to take a look at our postal shoot if you have any questions, and would like to join in. Don't be afraid to ask. Stay well and be safe.Robin

Welcome to the group Mike!
Quite a bunch you've joined here! I also started with a TC about the same time and also gathered up a few others from time to time!
Bite the bullet and attend Friendship! You'll always be glad you attended while you can get around! My getting around has become limited as of lately. Look at the postal shoot, I'm sure you have something that will fit.
My daughter coming your way next month. She spends most of the summers in Denver. She loves the country out there!
Again welcome to the group!

Welcome Mike. Come to Phoenix for the Western Nationals next month (or next year.) It's not Friendship, but we have matches of every type (except table shoots - we need to work on that,) a traders row, and the type of excellent camraderie that muzzle loaders are known for. And Phoenix is a lot closer to Denver!!!!!
I guarantee a great time,
Alan
