NTX Roll Call (pics and bios)

[shadows on the trees]

Where you on the scene yesterday?

Nope- I wasn't able to make it. I would have liked to be there, though!

Zombie movies used to give me horrible nightmares, so I decided I needed to face my fear and started watching more zombie movies and reading books about zombies... Then all of a sudden I find myself preparing for the zombie apocalypse and picking up a gun for the first time in 20 years.

So how often do people meet up or have meets???

small world, my company deals with RSR, ever heard of Black Optex or GTSI? oh and welcome!

[Jharris619]

Not yet I just got the job I start on 9/11

It's been a _long_ time since I had direct contact with RSR so I wasn't up to speed on their manufacturers, but I just checked and they carry Bravo Company as well as Spike's.
If they can get you any kind of deal as an employee, I'd look really hard at both brands.

They also carry Hornady, which was to be expected...if you end up with some sort of hookup on 75gr Steel Match .223 or 147gr XTPs in .357SIG then I'll be your new best friend.
