I did a web search for Christian gun owner forums and it led me to a thing called, "Christ At The Campfire".

My son found it and told me about it.

Rick called me up one day when he heard I was learning to use the computer and asked me to contribute a little humor to the site. I've contributed little ever since.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Came over as Shooters was imploding about 10 years ago.

Google sent me here. I was looking for a forum that could help me with a .30-30 lever action Marlin 336 that I have. It was then new to me, and the action was bound up some how, and I was totally frustrated. One of the employees at a gun shop I like ended up helping me out. He looked at me like the total noob that I was (am?), held the rifle at a funny angle, wiggled his fingers into the action, and some how unbound the action. BTW, this whole problem was caused by my putting the rifle back together incorrectly after the first time I cleaned it. I've enjoyed Rick's page ever since.

First heard it mentioned on another forum that I frequented at the time. Glad I found it.
Best Regards

I used to post on HuntAmerica (will anyone else admit to that?) After seeing references to The Fire I checked it out. I lurked for a long time and then made a post.

As an avid salmon & steelhead fisherman, I spent a bunch of time on a popular Northwest fishing board.
One night a dude appeared out of nowhere.
He plastered like 250 posts in one evening.
He had a twist on the English language like none other.
He literally blew the place up.
While many of the regulars were busy ridiculing him, I saw a man with a genius-like IQ in rifle science.
Then he plastered up like half a dozen Boone & Crockett class Sitka Blacktails and glorious steelhead eyecandy.
I wanted to see more of this dude.
I Googled "BigStick" & landed here.
The fire has become a wealth of knowledge and experience, a collection of characters and misfits.
Damn tough to beat this place.
I like it here.

Followed the great exodus from Shooters as it was melting down. Same here. Brian.

I think that I Googled shooting forums, was led to Shooter's archives, and then to the link to the new Campfire.......

My huntin' pard (Nebraska) got me hooked.
I loved the classifieds from the get go.
Learned a ton on the Savage Collectors, Single shots, Hunter's Campfire, Big-Bore and Big game hunting forums.
The 'fire is my main place to go.
If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

I moved over when Shooter's died. I have spent a little time at several other firearms related boards, and more than a little at AR, several years ago.
None of them ever really felt like home.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
