I've been mostly lurking for a good while without introducing myself here. I've avoided it because I hate talking about myself. That's not because I don't love me more than all but Jesus Christ the Almighty and my mom, but because it is hard for me to convey a representation of who I am without a huge amount of self-serving bias. But I will try not to over complicate things, as I tend to do, and remind myself that in truth nobody really cares who I 'really' am, with me being the only likely exception. So I'll keep it simple and just state the basic demographic facts and a bit about shooting.
I am an aging single Norwegian bachelor non-farmer male who lives part time in Saint Louis, Missouri and part time near Springfield, Missouri. I've been into guns ever since I was a youngster and started reloading when I was 13. I later strayed from these wholesome pursuits for the thrill of debauchery, only to pick them up again after growing up. Now I am in my late 40s and exhibit more extreme signs of firearm related OCD. When I was a lad I would use various forms of hunting to justify collecting an array of firearms (I had my "Deer Rifle" and my "Turkey Gun" and my "Squirrel Rifle" and my "Varmint Rifle" and my "Pig Kalashnikov" and my "Bear Revolver" and on and on but now I just like guns and don't care about justifications. I especially enjoy all things rifle related, both rimfire and centerfire. I actually have a smaller collection of guns but shoot each individual gun much much more. I still like to kill shit here and there, but my murder power needs no regular outlet as I almost exclusively enjoy shooting at small targets far away. I also like to figure out solutions to problems or challenges in shooting by designing and creating things myself rather than spending money on stuff. If I had more money I would probably be more gadget-oriented but I believe I have more fun operating within the challenges posed by financial constraint. I definitely learn more. I work in the field of zoological waste management but would love to someday live off making and selling things I have come up with to solve problems and address needs that arise in long range recreational and competitive precision rifle shooting.
And my name is Ryan, but I always thought it would be super neato to have a nickname or a "street name" like Tiny or Murder D or Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or something really tough like that but people just call me Ryan, which is my name on my license and birth-certificate and other documents. Sniper's Hide members have cool nicknames or handles or whatever so I called myself "Grassassin" in my profile because I once ran a lawn care service called Grassassins, but nobody ever called me Dr. Grassassin, PhD or anything like that. People just call me Ryan, which is my name.
Okay.
