Howdy to all! I just joined up yesterday and am still mulling over the site and how to get around. It seems complicated. I  was raised on single shot firearms. "One shot one kill" was my dad's instruction to shooting and hunting on the farm. My first weapon at age 10 was a Savage 72 Crackshot, I loved that rifle and the memories it's given me as a child hunting rabbits, squirrels and prairie chickens. I still have it and it will be my grandson's one day.
My first handgun was a Thompson Contender in .22 LR then to 30/30 then to 357 mag and .222 Rem which led me to IHMSA for a couple decades. I won state Championships in 1999 and 2001. However in my late 40's my eyesight went south and I eventually gave up competition shooting. In my 30's I bought a Ruger #1 in 6mm Rem. but sold it after a couple years. It was very accurate and I really loved the quality of that rifle but have always been a "cowboy caliber" guy so traded it in for a Browning Highwall 1885 in 45/70 Govt. That turned out to be the love of my life!  Another rifle willed to my grandson!
I scoped it to hunt deer for a few years with success then restored it to the original iron sights when I joined SASS and retired from world of firearms. I reckon now at age 70 I'm here to reminisce and hear others stories of single shot enthusiasts.

Welcome aboard.
