Coyote Rising

COYOTE10663 · 11-20-2007, 05:22 PM

As some may remember, I / we had a fallout in July. I will gladly apologise to all moderators involved in this discussion. However, the issue still burns me even 5 months later. I had had to get my heart right with God. I feel very bad about what I said. Believe it or not, I am a christian. I just fell out of the pac for a few years. But have since re-dedicated my life to the Lord, and am trying to mend old wounds I left behind in the wake of my drunkenness. Not a drop to drink in the last 5 months! Never to drink again! I went from social drinker to getting plasterd every chance I got in the course of about 1 year. It only lasted for 2 years, but man did I mess things up. I could not see the crap I was causing around me! If you all can forgive me, I will NOT make the same mistakes again!
However, if you cannot, I understand. I do enjoy this forum. I enjoy shooting. And I enjoy discussing topics. But when someone calls me ignorant and a child BEFORE all the cussing started, just because I had an idea that was working with almost everyone around me. Well, I still beleave that was wrong & downright mean. I may be new here. But I have been shooting guns for over 20 years. And have been gunsmithing (uncertified, working for freinds & family members and my own stuff) for over 10 years. This pup is getting too long in the tooth to put up with much bs. Thank you for your time.

I wasn't part of what happened before, and don't know anything about it. But, sounds like you are getting your life straightened out - I am happy for you. Not that this is a democracy, but you have my vote for a second chance. Good Luck to ya!

Congratulations on your sobriety Coyote, AND Samuel! That's something to be very proud of.

I was not here at the time of the fuss but you seem sincere and have made changes in your life so I would like to see you get a second chance. Delighted that you have quit drinking and everyday you get through without a drink is a win for you. You will be in my prayers.

welcome back, i am new here and i want to say turning your life over to Jesus Christ is a wonderful thing, and i know you feel better about yourself, a little faith goes a long ways, a lot of faith will do miracles in your life, keep yourself in tune with Christ and he will walk with you thru the roughest situations, again welcome back my friend

After 19 years of getting by one day at a time. I've walked the walk. I choose not to drink as it screws with target acquisicion, not to name a few other things.

Regards,

Schu

SwedeSteve · 11-21-2007, 08:15 AM

In 9 days I will be 5 months sober. Welcome back to you!

trapfreek · 11-21-2007, 12:05 PM

Good for you and may God bless all who are battling any kind of addiction or disease.

Thank you all. I hope to acuire another SKS soon. (Sold my last one in July when I was so mad. ) But I dont think I will ever get another YUGO. Had WAY too many problems with my old one! My first SKS (a NORINCO ) never, ever, ever, ever failed to feed, fire and eject. Reguardless of what brand/type of ammo I shot through it. I think the Norinco's are higher priced than the YOUGO's, but not having the gas system issues, I think it would be worth it. By the way, in bone stock form, does any one brand of SKS seem to be consistently more accurate than the other? Just curious.
