Hi. I'm Matt Caldwell, a knifemaker from Lake Stevens. I set up at some of the gun shows & enjoy searching for cool guns. Sometimes I even sell a gun or two. I like highly accurate .22s (metallic silhouette shooter), along with S&W revolvers, lever actions, and the occasional MSR. I like them all, antique to modern. Oh yeah, I like knives too, but I'm not here to talk shop; I'm here to check out guns!

Very cool!

Welcome to WaGuns!
What’s the furthest you have taken a .22 pistol out to (distance and size of target).

Have never shot a .22 pistol past 100 meters (ram silhouette), but have shot 300 yards with my .22 rifle on a high power pig silhouette. I help run a long range .22 silhouette match at Seattle Rifle & Pistol. We shoot intermediate sized targets at 50, 100, 150 & 200 meters. Tons of fun & a bit challenging.

Hi Matt I've been relocated to Texas for awhile though before when I lived in Puget Sound was in the habit of attending the IHMSA matches at Paul Bunyan in Puyallup. The match director is a great guy and nice crew of folks at the matches regularly.

If you miss ringing 100 metre smallbore ram's that would be the ticket for you :bigsmile:

Welcome to WaGuns Matt!
Many of us love knives and knifemaking as well, so you sure don't need to limit yourself. :cheers2:

Welcome on Board Neighbor,
When you are shooting where do you shoot? You go down to the flats or out to Seattle Rifle or somewhere else?

BTW there is a knife section so feel free to talk shop as well!

I only live a few miles from Seattle Rifle and Pistol, and have been a member for years. Used to plink on Green Mountain & other places on the Mountain Loop, but that seems to be frowned upon these days. Shot out near Darrington with a friend from Arlington, but haven't been back there since the slide.
