Bloggers and Professionals

Lately I have seen a lot of talk about how there are so many bloggers out there who talk a talk that they have never walked. There are plenty of Internet "Experts" out there because anyone with a computer can have a web page. However that doesn't mean that everyone has the knowledge or experience to back up what they are promoting, heck sometimes some of the advice I have seen is downright ridiculous and dangerous. 

I wanted to clear some things about myself, just in case there is any doubt that I am trying to be an Internet "operator" or "expert". These are things that I am not, I do not have the answers to everything, I haven't even had the opportunity to take any courses from some of the awesome guys we have here in our community, this is why I do not offer advice on things I know nothing about. I did serve in the military but being a mechanic in the Air Force the most I ever received was weapons familiarization on the M-16, and even that wasn't all that in depth.

I haven't gone through any armorers courses, or taken any gun smithing courses. Everything I do, I have taught myself to do or I have consulted with guys I have a great respect for, and have been doing gun stuff far longer than I have. I have also learned from my own mistakes and the mistakes of others, which many times has brought a greater understanding of my firearms.

I am always pursuing a better understanding of the gear and firearms that I use, and in that process I like to write down my thoughts and share them with you awesome people who follow this blog and my Facebook page, which I truly appreciate. 

I hope that as time goes on I will have the opportunity to attend classes and expand my knowledge, and be able to share what I have learned with you guys and gals. I'm just an average guy who likes to get out and shoot, tinker, build, and learn; I never expect to be a professional or to be a big name in the industry. Rather I just want to be that guy that can help new and old shooters alike by bringing attention to the awesome options that are available.

Again I really do appreciate each and every one of you who follows this page, and appreciate you following and participating in this journey that I have been on so far.
