For me, it was more about the opportunity versus an inspiration. Iowa didn't allow handguns until the mid to late 90's and when they did, I wanted to try it. Had been carrying a handgun for work for years and thought I was pretty good. Bought my first Anaconda (sold it in a short fit of stupidity, but it's now been replaced) and the rest is history. I have had very little satisfaction as the day I shot that bedded doe at 42 yards, and the hook was set.

Since then I've immersed myself in the art of the handgun and this place has helped a ton.
