Hello all,
I've actually been on the Hide for about a year now and posted a few times. Just saw this forum and figured I'd do the official introduction.
First off I'd like to say thank you to alot of the members on here, as I have gained some very useful information, even a few "AH HA!" moments. with that said here goes.
I've got just over 20 years of service in the Army. The first half was active and was assigned to 1/160th SOAR, spent some time with 3/160 as well. I crossed the fence and joined the Nebraska Army National Guard, where I continued in my aviation MOS', then a few years back, I fully committed to the dark side and became a Recruiter for the NEARNG (my soul is now lost). Hunting and shooting has been a central focal point throughout my entire life and my military career. Until last year I kept my distance shooting to 600yds and closer. While still on active Duty I was able to earn the Gold Schutzenschnur, and have shot as part of the NEARNG's Marksmanship program.
I currently own a small farm in SW Nebraska, and have the luxury of having a pistol range in my yard and just beyond the shelter belt a 1 mile range. The south canyon I use for zero, CQ, and 3 gun work. Admittedly I'm pretty fortunate. My current passions beyond my kids include predator/varmint hunting, 3Gun, LR/ELR shooting, of course deer,pheasant and the others as well lol. I compete in as many coyote calling contests as the Army, my wife, and my checkbook will allow every season.
This is probably a long enough intro, thank you all again for the information that gets passed along.
