Welcome, and glad ya made it!
As for where you're from, well...that doesn't matter. What matters is that you're here....and in good company! As for the handle, I used to laugh at the term 'dryball' because I figured ya had to be a scatterbrain to lose your train of thought on the range.....until I did just that with my Trade Rifle while some goofy RO who shoulda known better to be yakkin' at a man loading a rifle didn't, and I
did. Fortunately, I had a ball buller in the range box........
