Seeing how I've been spending a lot of time on the site, it seemed only right to join and explain how I got here. I'm 38 and have enjoyed hunting since my first trip to deer camp with my dad. Despite having a decent gun collection I've spent the past several years focusing on archery and filling my freezer with a bow.
That changed recently when my 10yo daughter asked what kind of rifle she had. *Mind blown* Yeah, I've let her shoot before but she didn't her "own" gun. I quickly set up her first gun.. a 10/22 topped with a Leupold VX2 2-7x33 from a Marlin 336. We proceeded outside for some plinking. She probably shot through 500rds and it was a blast for us both!
I decided to search YouTube for some diy targets to add to our new plinking past time but somehow ended up watching countless hours of precision shooting, studying ballistics charts, and custom builds. This lead to a new Tikka t3 Forest in 300 wsm, a new Vortex Viper, and a Witt Machine clamp on brake (despite never being bothered by recoil before) to go with the limbsaver airtech pad on a rifle that I haven't gotten a chance to fire yet. God willing, I'll find some time behind it this week.
As your typical hunter that sights in an inch or so high at 100 yards to stay in the kill zone out to 300, I'm eager to learn all I can about precision shooting. If nothing else, I'll be a more knowledgeable as a hunter in the end and that's never a bad thing.
