Re: [IDPA] New Guy Intro

Welcome to the list Greg.

-------------- Original message --------------
From: Greg Hicks <grizhicks@...>
Good Morning to all from central Indiana!!!

Getting back into pistol shooting (after 20 years or so). Just purchased a
Springfield XD(m) in 9mm and it shots like a dream (okay, a little low and left,
but that maybe me). I plan on shooting in my first IDPA match this Saturday
(01/03/09). I'm here to learn more about IDPA and how to become a better
shooter.

Also, I'm 56, married for 33 years and have 2 daughters, a son-in-law and 1
grandson. My other hobbies/interests include: ham radio, RV'ing, and search &
rescue (K9 handler). -- Greg
