The new guy!!

Thanks for accepting my request to join. Im very new to long range shooting i have shot rifles prety much all my life.. but i still love my archery, traditional archery.. my wife say its an extreme change from a trad bow to a long range weapon.. i was introduced to long range a year ago from a friend the had a elk tag an asked if i wanted yo join him on his hunt. Yes!! Making a long story short i went watch him shoot his elk ( 1009 yrds) droped in its tracks i was in shock never ever have i seen anything like it.. after all the excitement was done an elk taking care of he asked if i wanted to take a few shots, again i've been around guns an had the basics, looking into that scope an pulling the trigger an watching me hit the targer at 800yrs i was pretty much sold i wanted more, after a half dozen shots i gave up on the 1000yrs target ( didn't want to waits his ammo) fast forward I've purchased my own rifle, yup a 6.5 prc just like his.. lol now im learning a new sport, sorta.. any how its going to take me sometime to get things gathered as far as equipment an scope an things, for one its expensive an two im on a fixed income and monies always tight. So its going to be fun once i get everything in order an get to shooting.. hope ya all don't mind a lot of questions from a green horn.. thanks guys.
Tad I can save you some money here since you are starting out and there may be some here disagree ( ignore them 🤣). Just my humble opinion here fellas....but take a look at Athlon Optics ..Argos BTR Gen 11 scope....8 x 34 power available in both MIL and MOA FFP scopes....for what you pay....it's worth alot more! As good as most scopes worth 4 times as much....you can learn with it and always upgrade later...but 479.00 can't be beat....check out MK MACHINING....Sell a nice package.....once again..just my opinion
 
Welcome from Maryland. Theres a tremendous brain trust here, in every department, from reloading, to optics, tuning, and reading your rifle, and targets. They all speak to you, just have to translate it to knowledge, and application. Welcome to the forum, you find a good home here. Dont be afraid to comment, and ask questions!
 
Greetings from Misipi.
Much respect to the traditional archer. I've always said if I got to good at killin em with my compound, I'd regress to trad. I don't see that ever happening !
