Hi,
I'm Rex and I just joined the forum. I've been hunting the western USA for about 30 years. I'm glad to be here and hope to learn a lot from those more experienced and maybe share a bit of what I have learned myself. I would not consider myself a "Long Range Hunter" as I certainly don't take long shots on purpose. I much prefer to get close if possible, but sometimes you can't. And when that happens I want to be able to take the shot with skill and confidence. I have killed a couple critters at range - my furthest kill shot was 416 paces with a 25-06 and that was back before we had laser rangefinders. Last fall I shot a pronghorn through the heart with my M70 FWT in 6.5x55 at a ranged 350 yards when I just couldn't get any closer. This isn't meant as bragging, just bounding where I am experience-wise and establishing that at least up to now I am not one of those 500 yard plus shooters, like many of you are certainly capable of doing.
Anyhow, nice to meet you all and thanks for having me. Looking forward to learning from you.
Cheers,
Rex
