    This is the thread to post your shooting/gun goals for 2018.

    Having defined goals to work toward are a great way to improve your shooting skills and/or build your gun collection.

    If you're not sure how to create a set of goals for yourself, speak up and the collective minds of TGT will help you formulate some goals for the year.

    So, what are your goals for 2018?

    My goal is mainly to refill my safe. Sold a pile to start my company back up and everything so far has gone back into that.

    My long term goal is to expand on my 2017 goal. Get more involved in helping new shooters and defending our rights.

    Increase the quality of my handloads by further refining my process and getting higher quality components and equipment.

    Get a nice scope for the Armalite (carried over from last year)

    Increase component stock.


    Avoid defunding the first 3 via new firearms purchases

    2017 is gonna be hard to top for me.
    Not because I achieved great things, because I had great fun.
    Saw things that I didn't imagine. Did things I didn't dream.
    Thanks to some good friends here.

    Open sights to 700 yds. I guess.
    Maybe a 45-70 in the arsenal. Finish the range out to 1k.

    The 45-70 bug is very addictive. And then once you get it, other things don’t get shot as much.
