Hello! I"ve browsed various threads here at Long Range Hunting for about a year now and finally decided to be more a part of the discussions. I have a military background of making precision shots, but thats now 19 years ago. While the fundamentals of my military shooting education haven't changed, much about the long range game HAS changed. I'm hoping to pick up new education along the way while building some long range competition rifles to keep myself busy!
Right now I reside in the mountains of Central Idaho where there are many opportunities for VERRRRY long, unobstructed shots at both varmints and larger game. I enjoy the challenge of long range varmint hunting, but also want to get back into competition (F-class) as a way to challenge and refine the skills that I'm dusting the cobwebs off of.
I have a good grasp of projectile ballistics, ranging considerations, target engagement and shooting fundamentals. I'm interested in anything outdoors and I'm laid-back and congenial. While I've got a couple of teen kids who share my passion for the outdoors and shooting, I'd never turn down a chance to meet up with a like-minded individual and spend some time behind a rifle. I'm self-employed so I have some freedom to travel.
If anyone is seeking a hunting or shooting partner, I'm generally willing. In the meantime, I hope to make some contributions to the forums and share my own 30+ years of hunting and shooting experience. I believe the free sharing of information is the most beneficial way to improve any endeavor - and here we all share the same endeavor of improving long range accuracy!
