Talk about a quick way to screw up a new member/welcome post! To the OP, welcome to the forum! Going green has many advantages, including access to the members area. In there is a dream full of group events, group buys, charity get together, Breakfast/lunch/dinner get togethers, etc'. There's a group shoot coming up in a couple weeks that has a few days left to get into. If you've never been to a shoot with about 100 of your fellow shooters with every firearm imaginable with owners willing to let you shoot them, then you are missing out BIG TIME.
Whether you go green or not, welcome!
