The changes over the years have been interesting. Lost some good ones along the way. Should have kept a record of all the different pissing contests.

I too have been around here a while. Not since day-one or anything, but quite some time. I remember Ugashik Bob, many others, and this is all before Victor was a Mod. IIRC even our 'join dates' were changed during one of the numerous 'changeovers'. I really REALLY don't want to use the word "transition" anymore. It should be stricken from the language, but that's another story.

Merry Christmas

And before here, was the "Duty Roster".... where MANY got their starts. And many tangents of industry were born...

Ugashik Bob was a solid guy! He and I chatted often and even met up for coffee here in town around 2008 maybe, when he came through for supplies. Wealth of knowledge and experience. I often wonder how he's doing? Or still is?


As for first here, it was 2005 back when I was doing a lot more rifle shooting... like all things, I've drifted to and from with interests in my firearms journey, sort of coming back to the rifles again.

Lurked for a while before I joined in 2009.

A few people I haven't seen, maybe they changed their call sign.

Texgal 338

Pico palo

I liked the chatbox.

Didn’t Pico Palo and others get scammed on that top mounted bipod ordeal back in 2012 or something like that?

I’m original.

However, I have been known to steal memes from the Pit. Does that make me unoriginal?

I joined in 2012 when i was like 13. Morris Peterson recommended the site to me and told me to read as much as i could until i could purchase my first rifle. I didn't go on here much when it switched to the scout, maybe 3 or 4 logins. Was very pleased to see it go back to the original (original as far as i know it?) Format.

2006

I remember a few folks on here from SH match at RO probably 2009 or 2010. Captain Kick Ass, Frank of course, Lindy, Tony from TAB, Gordy, Terry Cross, and a bunch of others. Also worked matches with the Arizona shooters (Ben Avery & Gunsite - Cory T let me shoot his 338), Nor Cal match 2012 (Vu and company, Frank-lowlight was also there), got to meet SoCal guys, and Sin City Team at local matches in Vegas. Most of those guys aren't on here any more.

I remember going to USO when they were in Brea and meeting Becky, Jeff(?), Jason, Arnold, and JBWIII. Once those EREK knobs got set, they were good to go.

Now I'm old and house poor, and just shoot CZ and Ruger 22LR with Bushnell. LOL

PS I read the BearPit when bored, like when wife is watching Hallmark or HGTV. The wife wants to know "What's so funny." I reply "I'm collecting memes."

Did you know or ever shoot with Mike D. or the Sheriff (forget his logon) in Ok.?

Name doesn’t ring a bell. I’ve shot with a few OK Sheriffs but I’m not sure if they were members here

Thanks for the reply.
Mike D. a Sheriff, and an ex (think it was Army) sniper use to all shoot together at one range in Ok back when, until he & Frank got cross ways over something. Then he , the sheriff & another all left at the same time. I miss old Mike as he & I chewed some of the same dirt long ago.

 

[Lowlight]

He means Mike D and Bobby from Badlands in OK, I don't think he is still a sheriff

Yea that's them. Thanks Frank.

That is a one heck of a fine Obit, I have cousins that settled in Limon, CO after WWII, cattle business, and are still there, they probably knew him in HS.

“Where the nozzle goes when the world needs an enema!” Is how he always described Limon.

I was hesitant to “like” this post.

What a character. He was one of the funniest, most cynical members here. He used to post quite a bit before 2010 and was one hysterical morherfucker.

I used to like Bobs stories about the "Growlers"

 

[vwhugger]

The pre-Scout days were fun. I loved the chat box. The original girlfriend thread was epic (was it Doorkicker that had everyone in awe?).

I remember one night @UKDslayer made chat extra fun.

May have been Buttercup.

Wasn't Buttercup one of the US Optics gals? The other one was Cupcake. Me thinks, anyway.

Steve Suttles is the sniper you mentioned. First a Marine and then National Guard.

 

[vwhugger]

While back some young rip-off artist took me for $250 here, rather irritated me but Frank gave me some IP's and I tracked the B*stard down in Houston.
Sent him a photo of his front door and I gleaned major satisfaction from that

Anyway I've been building another rifle, albeit slowly.

Hope everyone has as Merry Christmas of course.

Are you still racing outboard motor powered bathtubs? I think that was you.

This place is the finest example of diversity, equity, and inclusion at work.

no actually I think this is the quarantine for all the reprobates Disney didn't hire

2006, checked out in 2011. You can look at my 2023 credit card statements and see the day that I finally logged back in.

Had to get a password reset from the Mods, doing my best to make them regret that
