Hello from "Noob" Jersey

[MickeyRat]

Thank you very much for the add to this forum. I was "retired" in 2020 due to covid and since I am nearly 70 y/o, I decided it was my time. So having nothing to do all day and all day to do it in, I wanted to learn something new. Enter precision shooting. I purchased a Christensen Arms 6.5 Creedmoor rifle with a scope and will take my first class this weekend at the G&H shooting school in North New Jersey. My rifle experience to date is with a .22lr so this should be interesting. My other interests are cycling and scuba diving.

Hudson Farms is nice.

Never got bubble certified, but at my peak was able to get down to just shy of 4 atm. Grand Cayman is gorgeous to dive at. Cuba has some amazing reefs too, but probably won’t be allowed to dive there in this lifetime.

I did my time in the ocean. I did ocean wreck dives off NJ for a few years before moving to FL. Talk about 10' viz....... I was running reel lines in the ocean to ensure I got back to the up line. And cold? Definitely dry suit temperatures, but I did my dives in a 7mm. I do cave diving strictly, now.

I dove Caymen Brac and the highlight was that Russian destroyer at 90'.

Well, I did my Precision Rifle Course parts one and two at Hudson Farms, had a great time, and learned a ton. The bulletin board to zero your scope is at 100 yards and the furthest target is 900 yards. Amazing facility in Northern New Jersey.
