Did not follow forums until I found this one a few years ago. Just discovered I am supposed to introduce myself. Sorry for the oversight. I am near Ocala having moved here from Flagstaff when I retired as a CPA/attorney 20+ years ago. Could not handle those winters any longer. Stopped gun hunting back in the 80s when I reached a ridge and saw another hunter watching me thru his scope. Realized there are too many crazies out there. Bow hunted exclusively ever since.
Got my FL carry permit when I moved here, but did not get any training until I went to Front Sight in 2013. What an eye opener. Went back the next year with my wife and adult kids and have been attending different training courses annually ever since. The best of the 10 or so I have attended in IMHO is MAG 40, MAG 80, Gun Sight and Randy Cain's courses, not necessarily in that order.
Set up both a pistol and 100yd rifle range on my property so I get a lot of practice. Handload, but stopped casting lead back in the 80s. I have found those fumes are just too dangerous for amateurs.
