Hi Folks,
want to introduce myself. I'm from Texas and live in California. Work in the movie biz. Prop Shop, Special Effects Pyro 3rd Class, Certified LWRCi Armorer.
I'm always fabricating, building and learning. Built some crazy weapons for some shows. Here are a couple of my builds.
Looking to learn more about the finer points of long range shooting. I'm always researching, studying and playing with new equipment and weapons for tv shows and features. Having machining tools, lathes and various other equipment allows me to build and modify parts and gear for movies. Its a neat perspective to weapons design and development when you fabricate weapons for a major tv show... R&D is a part of my world. Of course, a lot of "stuff" I build is ultra secret till after the project is released.
I'm a member of a private range and we have steel out to 750 yards. so its nice to be able reach out and ping some steel. Any help or suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
Thank you for forum.

Welcome to the Hide from Middle Georgia. I really envy you Brother and am happy for ya. Any brother that can enjoy that kind of very exclusive club doesn't really "work" for a living. Great shots of great creations. Glad to have you here and can't wait to see some of your future posts as you settle in here. Would love to see my brothers and sisters out of the socialist 3rd world that side of the country has become. Some great folks stuck there and can't help or get themselves out. But you're way ahead in the knowledge of quite a few aspects of our sport/hobby/profession. Glad to have ya here and look forward to more photos to enjoy!

Thank You, Dragonscout25...
I'll just post this picture of some of my work. I can't say much except I really love my job and that's the only way I can tolerate being stuck behind "occupied zone of california"... Hope you are well and staying safe!
