LOL - not what but who . Don't worry about it, I'm just horsing around. I didn't get to shoot anybody today, so my bio-rythms are a little off.

I'm zippy,
I'm an old prior service fart looking to get into the NQP program with the 2/20th and I know that most of questions I have will be answered when I get there and start training. I'm just here to lurk and learn. I have read many posts on many forums about older guys going for it. I believe that if you train hard, prepare, and have the fire in the gut, the determination, then age doesn't matter........my two cents, for what it's worth. It's how I'm approaching each taget as I move down range.
