Retired Army Service Member originally from NYC and a Die Hard Yankees fan currently living in SW Oklahoma.
After serving 20+ years in the US Army I find myself with some extra free time and searching for a hobby to occupy my time.
As like most military folks I've handled the M16/M4 rifle during my service.
The farthest I've shot successfully was 300 yards and I'd like to 'stretch' my legs and gain entry into the 1000 yd club and beyond.
And in order to do so my Chief Financial Officer (Wifey) authorized the purchase of my first bolt action rifle, a Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 CRM.
As a former Artilleryman I am familiar with ballistic theory, projectile weight, propellant, weather, gravity, earth rotation, etc and how those factors are needed to create a firing solution.
From 155mm to 6.5mm Creedmoor, Same concept, different weapons platform.
I know there is a lot to learn and I am very excited to begin this journey and I believe this is a great place to start.
