New from NY, stationed here for a little while, but grew up down state. LOVING the north country, it's where I enlisted from. Fell in love with firearms when I got stationed at fort Campbell and have been shooting ever since. Really interested in learning long range precision, not really for comp or anything though I wouldn't mind trying, just for myself. Personal achievement I guess. On calm days I can hammer 500m all day long, learning in the wind and farther out. Budget "bang for buck" oriented, not cheap but not into brands just for the sake of cool factor. I do reload; 30/30, 223, 243, 6.5 grendel, 6.5x55, 8x57, I also like long walks on the beach, and sand between my toes, lol.
