The ten ring is the tenth, inner concentric circle, or "ring" on a typical target used in marksmanship. Sometimes it's the "bullseye", and other targets it's the outer ring next to it.
I've been into target shooting, but very casual, nothing technical. When first person shooters first came out, I wanted a cool user name for clans I belonged to.

Even though I'm in N Texas I love the wide-open spaces of the Westernsky in Idaho, Utah, Nevada and New Mexico!

Mine is fairly simple: first letter of my first name, and first two letters of my surname. It's a nickname I invented for myself back in high school; the only people who call me that in person are my brother, and people from the forums who I meet IRL. I've been on the forum a while now; I don't think usernames that short are allowed any more.
Sometimes, people call me "SAP", as if I was an acronym, or they were shouting at me. That's just wrong.

My wife saw "oih82w8" on a license plate and thought of me. It has been my email since 1996. O (oh) I (eye) H8 (hate) 2 (to) W8 (wait) I have the tendency to become cantankerous when I have to wait...unnecessarily.  Edited by oih82w8

John1 John, Is that because you are terrible at grading?  When I talk to my brother about coins, he gets a glazed eyes look and puts his fingers in a L on his forehead, I think it means he "L"oves to hear about coins

We did this in the past. I used to be a plumbing contractor. I tried to use trdhrdr as my email address but someone else was using it so I added the 007. In case you haven't figured it out it rhymes with bird herder....

Me? I'm a gunslinger. I Got Expert Marksmanship medals qualifying with Pistol and Rife in the Military. So I took the name "Will Dearborn" the alias of Roland Deschain, son of Steven, the last of the Gunslingers.
So to keep it simple 'Dearborn' is what I adopted

Great posts lately. trdhrdr007I always thought it was short for Try Harder 007. That is so funny now. |

I will keep the post going, my username of course means "BigFish" as I am sure most of you caught (hey "caught that" I'm hilarious) that. I am an avid fisherman and part time guide(did for a long time anyway) on Toledo Bend reservoir. In my small town just about everyone knows this. Almost on daily basis someone asks me if I am catching any fish and my standard answer is "only when I go" usually they pause and look at me then realize what I said! Mostly crappie and avid full moon nighttime bass fisherman (nothing like being on the water on a full moon when everything is quiet) rarely skipped a month in the last 20 years. Unfortunately, 80 percent of my fishing partners (I'm obsessive) have either passed or have serious health issues (I wore them all out I guess) all before 60 years of age, hence collecting these darn one cent pieces. I still prefer to be on the water!

mds308 My initials added to my first employee number when I was 17. In the summer, after junior year of HS 1977, my father made me get a job. I was hired by a company called The Treasury. No, not the US Treasury. This was a super store owned by J.C. Penney's. It was a Super Walmart before we ever heard of Walmart. My employee number was 308. That number has been a favorite of mine since. Another esoteric name. |
