hello everyone.

My name is Randy, I'm a 51 yr. old fella whom due to work related knee injuries, stopped hunting about 15 yr. ago. I love guns and archery and owned many guns and a PSE compound bow. I now only have 1 gun, a YUGO SKS due to a family member with a drug abuse problem. ( I just want to thank God the fam. member is now clean and free for 15 months now). I'm now disabled and figured out if I can set and watch the Outdoor & Versus's channel hunts. I too could buy and set in a blind, and with the help from family, friends, and adapting to other methods of hunting, I can again enjoy hunting, and target practice again. Will stop rambling on for now. I look forward to learning and meeting new friends with like passions.
Thanks,
Randy, AKA:sksfordman

Thanks for the warm welcome, and ArkansasHunter, my wife got me a Eastman blind for Christmas. It's one of the Hub style blinds with a 70" inside center measurement. The only thing I not sure I will like is that it's only 5' tall, and I'm 6' 1" tall. It has 8 shoot thru windows with one roof opening. I'm new to turkey hunting scene, yet I want to try my luck at it. Sometime in the next yr. I'm planning on a T/C encore, or CVA Optima Muzzle loader, and a rifle barrel (to be determined at a later date), after more research on this forum, and the www. I will also be buying a crossbow. So any help and info you might share with me will be greatly appreciated. I hope to be a man who can help others see, it's not living to not just sit down and let life pass you by. I appreciate all of the replies. Randy, Aka:sksfordman
