My shooting ranges are in volcanic cinder pits.

Achigan is the Algonquin name of the smallmouth bass, one of my other passions. It means fierce, an apt description of the fish, not me.

Re: Forum handles?
Origin is a little risque...While trying to extract my arm from underneath my gf's head, early one morn, she woke up and asked me what I was doing.
I told her the story of the coyote who got a leg caught in a trap and had to gnaw it off. Even though I was the one who tried to extract myself, I told her that she was Coyote Ugly (This came about long before the movie)! Well she burst out laughing and that was her nickname from then on. She even got a license plate for her car and because COYOTE was taken she got KOYOTE. Since she is not computer literate, I have used that handle in various places on the web.
As for you vets, thanks. I did a hitch, but they wouldn't send me anywhere. I walked the line, in front of and around some BUFF's and KC-135 tankers.
It was at Beale AFB, where they filmed Rock Hudson and Rod Taylor in Gathering of Eagles. I was at the tail end of the runaway when 8 BUFF's took off one right after another. Awesome sight. Also worked at the three missile sites. Every six months was required to qualify with a 1911 and an M2 .30 cal. carbine as expert. Helped with my shooting decades later. My son and I have both purchased Henry's and plan to get at least one more to add to the family collection of firearms.

Re: Forum handles?
Something in common. I fix them. Don't play as much as I used to. I stopped teaching back in 2009 and pretty much stopped playing. Sax and clarinet were my studies (Sax TCU Noah Knepper/Clarinet UofH Jeffrey Lerner). I've been in the repair business since 1976 apprenticing under Bob Staley. Worked for C&S Ft. Worth, Wilson Music in LaPorte, Brook Mays in Houston, Barth's Band Shoppe in Stafford, and Band Instrument Exchange when it was on W. Alabama. Took off on my own in March of 2000.

Re: Forum handles?
I posted in the lounge that , at one time - a long time ago, I was involved in another "hobby" and ran a message-board very similar to this in those days. I was also a member of other forums of the same interest. My Forum Handle is a hold over from those days. gdc = my initials. 25 and 06 were my uniform numbers.
Boring as heck I know but that's it.

Re: Forum handles?
Mine is an odd combination, my favorite old west character is Doc Holliday, but, most gun forums already have that username taken, and my favorite chainsaw of all time was the Stihl009 top handle saw.

Re: Forum handles?
Nothing wrong with the Winchester, I have 3 but I'm more of the Marlin type.
Welcome aboard Dan.

Re: Forum handles?
Dan, just a little bit of caution if you hang out here. These guys are the greatest bunch of enablers I have seen since being active on the Marlin forum several years ago. Soon you might be changing your name to DanHenry22.

I'm 81 and like any brand of Lever .22 that functions properly. A Marlin 39M Mountie is high on my want list and also a Browning. 'Til then I'll get along fine with my Winchester 9422, Henry Golden Boy and Uberti Silverboy that make up my .22 Lever-Action collection.
I also think a Henry H-001T might be the perfect trail buddy as it's much easier to attach a scope than the Goldenboy.
