New Guy from CA.

[dlouie87]

Hey guys (and girls),

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I just graduated college and I'm trying to get into LR shooting. I started out with a 5r and sold it because to financial issues..... Just bought another 5r.

Hope to get out shooting soon.

Welcome to the community. The 5R is a great rifle. How much shooting have you done? What are your goals?

I've only shot up to 250-300 yds max. I want to slowly (or quickly ) reach the goal of hitting steels at a 1000 and set new goals then.

I've been shooting for 3-4 years now. I want to learn more about reading windage and elevation. I just want to learn more about LR shooting in general and hopefully get in some matches in a year or two.

Re: New Guy from CA.

Welcome and do you have it topped with anything or are you shooting it with luck? Just giving you a hard time, and isn't wind a bitch?

I wish I got the 5R to start with, buy once as they say.

Thanks for not asking a redundant question as your introduction!

Dan, welcome to the hide. Always good to see a fellow CA shooter.

Gotta love the AICS.

Nice starter rifle. Have fun, shooting long range is a rewarding challenge.
