Meet up Lower Mainland Shooting Buddy

Im a 47m professional and my main shooting buddy has been AWOL for much of this year.

I have been bringing some of my other friends to the range but they arent committed so they usually just come out once and that's it. My wife will come if I drag her, but it's not really her thing.

Im looking for someone to go to the range with. I have a membership at Thompson Mountain Sportsmen Association in Pitt Meadows.

Message me if you live in the Lower Mainland and want to go shooting with me sometime. I've got shotguns, semis, lever actions, and bolt action rifles. Everything but handguns as I relatively recently got my PAL.

As an introvert, I’m genuinely fascinated with people who are able to reach out like you for friends. It’s honestly like a superpower in my view. Good luck, I hope you find a great pal to shoot with.

Im an omnivert, but Im just getting tired of not getting out to the range as much as I would like. I need someone to press the button on the clay throwing machine!

I've been an introvert all my life. In my case I just find that I just have a social interaction bar that goes down faster than people like my wife who can spend an entire day with her friends gabbing away. Me: 4 hours is my utter most limit and then I just go sit in a corner.

Having a hobby to share extends my social limit quite a bit. Your buddies can concentrate on the thing you both are doing and not really need to fill the air. For example, I can hunt all day but I don't feel the need to talk the whole time.

Most of my friends are introverts including my wife. I think Im just extroverted enough to get them out of their shell but not too much to be draining.

Well if you ever want to try hunting ducks I'm in the LML. I don't hit the range much these days.
