Thank you for accepting my re-join application a few days back, CBA. My name is Allen Paine from Redlands, CA. I retired from law enforcement 18 years ago and have been a firearms hobbyist since my youth. I began reloading (shotshells) at age 15 (1970), metallics in 1976, and started bullet casting in 1981.

Many of you likely recognize my nickname from other reloading sites that I infest online.

I appreciate the warm welcome from you all. Most of my shooting happens in the desert--have laser rangefinder, will travel. Now that the blast furnace is abating out near Desert Center I am looking forward to running some of my war toys after a long hiatus due to illness. There have been a few trips to indoor venues in San Bernardino and Beaumont with handguns, but shooting indoors gives me a headache after 45 minutes or so.

Welcome to our patch Allen. This is a generally polite, well mannered, knowledgeable and opinionated bunch, in that regard much like a couple of other good cb sites. I hope you like it here as much as I do.

Rejoined about the same time as 9.3 and likely as a result of a thread over on the castboolits site. I don't cast alot these days but I do like reading about the hobby.

Sparky45 over there.

Hey Allen! Welcome back. I grew up in Yucaipa, so Redlands was my Stomping Grounds. Born at Redlands Community Hospital in 1954, and suffered lots of scary trips to the Beaver Clinic as a kid. My Dad was a veterinarian in Yucaipa. Holy Moly, you still have a place to shoot down there? Enjoy the forum, this is a cast bullet shooter's place to rub elbows with the guys that really know their stuff!
