Firearm enthusiast and I like the outdoors but have never been hunting so am thinking about giving it a try sometime. Seems like there is lots of good information to learn on this site.

Having spent some childhood years in what’s now Zim, an added bonus would be that a hunt could offer a chance to go back for a visit at some point…

Also I have realized that contrary to some media portrayals, serious hunters are actually the most ardent protectors of wildlife and conservation activities. Really appreciate that.

Welcome Joe. It's always a good time to discover the infinitely entertaining and utterly addictive world of hunting.

I hope you enjoy your journey of discovery.

Welcome, I lived in Austin for 10 years and have sadly learned that McBride's is for sale.

I considered McBride's an island of sanity in a sea of delusion.

I hope it works out for them but they are trying to sell the gun business and the property from what I understand, which might be tricky. If it works out there may still be a gun store there but I suspect it will be hard to do. I didn’t think gun store profit margins were very high and if the business is bought separately from the property and someone has a finite lease that would make it less appealing from that angle. Now the property is a great location and is the big value, especially with all the medical facilities around there, but ultimately a property buyer will want to cash in on that and redevelop it.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
